Christian McCaffrey’s strong message for Carolina Panthers

During a Dwight Clark Legacy Series event, Christian McCafrrey admitted it was a shocking episode the moment he knew the trade to the 49ers was approved. However, in retrospective, everything worked out for good.

“I was obviously fired up. There’s a lot of emotions. At the time, it was bittersweet. I was pissed off. I felt like they don’t want me anymore. I was a captain on that team. I’ve been there for five years and played some good football. In hindsight, I firmly believe it’s the best thing that ever happened to me.”
