This has been a season to forget for the Stanford Cardinal, but that shouldn’t take away from what Christian McCaffrey has done during his time with the program. When healthy, McCaffrey has been one of the most dangerous weapons in college football due to his ability to run the ball, catch passes and make big plays in the return game.

The Oakland Raiders are lacking a serious threat out of the backfield, which is exactly what McCaffrey could be for them. Not only could he big up big plays on the ground with his vision and speed, but he can also line up in the slot or make catches out of the backfield.

With a young offensive trio of Derek Carr, Amari Cooper and McCaffrey, the Raiders would be one of the most entertaining teams in football.
