I think this is a late round-UDFA guy here but I also suspect people will be going gaga over him because yes, it is Christian McCaffrey's brother.

@Random Reglar is going to have a boner because he was a 4 star recruit as a QB and began his career at Nebraska but did not win the starting QB job. He transferred to Rice and converted to WR. 5th year Junior.

He doesnt look like he has great speed to me. But he may be one of those quicker than fast guys. The thing that impresses me the most is his concentration. It doesnt seem to matter what visual interference the defender provides, the ball always finds his hands. He pulled in 13 TDs this year. 

He has solid size at 6'2'' 195. 

I dont know if he settles in at WR, if someone tries him out as a return specialist and special teamer. Seems like a swiss army knife type of player who can be very useful fulfilling various roles on a scout team/practice squad. I do think he lacks the elusiveness to become a RB like his brother.

Highlights

 

Senior Bowl invite 

 

Another flavor where RT is prioritized over LB (E.Cooper); Wilson might go earlier based on the tape but the medical is the issue.  McCaffrey is fearless aver the middle, if we start using that part of the field.

Id be surprised if McCaffrey gets drafted, and shocked if he really goes as high as 159. Unless he blows up the senior bowl.

Probably right - still on the lookout for a guy meeting this description:

I don’t know - I went into the week interested, and some said he did well. He just doesn’t seem very graceful - really good hands but not sure if the body control/twitch/overall coordination is where I want it.

Agree.  I still see him as a developmental UDFA target only. 

People said he did well but I wasn't impressed. And honestly I didn't expect to be either. 

This dude wishes he was Ladd Mcconkey. Ladd does everything better except have an NFL bloodline.

I think he wishes he was his brother. But the Christian McCaffrey clone in this draft is Will Shipley.
