Christian McCaffrey: Combine results and workout sources
The Stanford running back has a full set of running, jumping and lifting marks in the 2017 table. His 6.57 second cone drill measures a different movement pattern from his 4.48 second straight sprint.
Read the workout in context
Carolina used the eighth selection on the running back. Read his 121 inch broad jump alongside his 37.5 inch vertical: one measures horizontal distance and the other upward reach. Neither test counts receiving production or pass protection snaps.
Testing table
Source setting: compiled combine record. Values below follow the linked record. A blank field stays unknown; only a source that says DNP supports that label.
| Test | Recorded result |
|---|---|
| 40 yard sprint | 4.48 seconds |
| Vertical jump | 37.5 inches |
| Broad jump | 121 inches |
| Three cone drill | 6.57 seconds |
| 20 yard shuttle | 4.22 seconds |
| Bench press | 10 repetitions |
What the measurements tell you
The college listed for this draft entry is Stanford. The selection was round 1, pick 8, in 2017, by Carolina Panthers. This identifies the selecting club rather than a present day team.
The reviewed draft record lists 5 ft 11 in and 202 pounds. Draft measurements describe that point in time. A later team roster can list different measurements, so use a dated roster for a current size question.
Using the results fairly
Jumps test power in different directions. The cone and shuttle use different paths, so their times are not interchangeable. Lifting repetitions do not show catching skill or passing accuracy. These tests add a physical snapshot to a draft report; they do not replace film, production or a medical review.
This table follows the source notes rather than choosing the best mark from several events. Where a second report differs, the event note explains the gap. We publish no percentile without a defined comparison group, sample size and calculation.
What to check for this record
His 10 lifting repetitions and 6.57 second cone drill describe different tasks. Comparing the lifting count with a much heavier position group would hide the role and body size involved. The table records a workout; it does not turn one low or high mark into an overall player grade.
Questions readers ask
Which draft team selected this player?
Carolina Panthers selected the Stanford RB in round 1, at pick 8, in 2017. This is draft history, not a current roster claim.
What does an empty test field mean?
It means the reviewed source does not record a result. It does not mean zero, and it does not prove why the athlete did not have a listed mark.
Sources and review method
We checked the linked records for this update. Team and school reports can explain the event. Historical tables compile results and may leave fields empty. We keep that distinction visible and do not claim an affiliation with the source publishers.
