Some halfbacks just can't handle a pass.
Doesn't change the fact he's a beast.
McCaffrey's first full three seasons he was targeted on the average of 128 times, or about eight passes a game thrown his way.
And he has magic hands, he was pretty much gold on the average he caught seven out of eight passes a game thrown at him.
He also caught 15 TD passes in his first three seasons. Five per year.
Henry's pass receiving numbers are non existent, because they just run him.
McCaffrey gets 128 targets a season.
Henry gets 20 targets a season just a tad over one pass a game.
Henry has three career TD pass receptions in five pro seasons.
McCaffrey catches five TD passes every year.
Somebody mentioned McCaffrey is turnover prone.
I looked it up.
He's lost only two fumbles in three years.
2019 the last real NFL season McCaffery rushed the ball 287 times in 16 games (average 18 carries a game, every game) and fumbled just once. And that was recovered by him, that was not a lost fumble to the defense.
My all time personal favorite running back was Matt Forte.
McCaffrey is cut from the same mold as Forte.
God I remember loving watching those Bears games with Forte in the backfield almost on every snap.
Now that was a pass catching running back.
One of the finest I ever saw.
