Quote:Julian Edelman: 

 

Edelman is 5'10" 200

CM is 6'0" 200

 

Edelman 40: 4.52

CM: 4.5

 

Tough and somewhat undersized but good in space.

Intelligent players who know where to run and how to get open. 

Neither one is overly flashy. Yeah they are both white guys, but discount that and they just seem very similar even at different positions. 

 

I think that's a really good comparison, because I think McCaffrey would make an outstanding WR.   Daniel Jeremiah said he ran better routes at the Combine than any of the WRs.  He has excellent hands, and he's elusive in the open field.  

 

I think he will excel if he goes to a team with a QB that is very accurate with short passes, because I don't think anyone will be able to cover him. 

 

I think he belongs in the top 15 picks, Daniel Jeremiah has him going #11 to New Orleans, which seems ideal to me, pairing him with Drew Brees could make him rookie of the year. 

 

If people would just ignore the fact that he's white, watch the game tape and watch the Combine drills, especially watch the feet, and the hands, they would see that this is a very very talented football player. 

 

As for comparisons, I find it difficult to compare one running back to another.  They are all unique.   Someone on NFL Network last night compared him to LeSean McCoy.
