48. . RB. Stanford. Christian McCaffrey. 11. player

The Tampa Bay Buccaneers could use a spark on the offensive side of the ball. With Stanford running back Christian McCaffrey, he’s more and then some. He’s the 11th pick in this week’s mock draft.

The Buccaneers are ranked 27th in points per game (18.8), 27th in rushing yards per game (88.6), and 24th in total yards per game (335.8).

McCaffrey was first in the FBS in yards from scrimmage last season with 2,664 yards and second in the FBS in rushing yards with 2,019. He has 1,057 career receiving yards and 8 career receiving touchdowns as well.

He’s a speedster who is a proven pass catcher as a running back. McCaffrey could make for a useful offensive weapon for Tampa Bay. This season, he’s been a bit banged up, he missed the team’s game last week against Notre Dame due to injury and may not play in a big matchup against Colorado.
