The San Francisco 49ers finished with a 6-11 record in 2024 and missed the playoffs. San Francisco was riddled with injuries in 2024 and one of the massive players who suffered an injury was running back Christian McCaffrey.
When McCaffrey was healthy during the 2023 season, the 49ers were the number one seed in the NFC, and they made it to the Super Bowl before losing to the Kansas City Chiefs. In 2025, McCaffrey hopes to stay healthy and get San Francisco back to the playoffs. He is 29 years old and is one of the best running backs in the NFL when healthy.
San Francisco 49ers Running Back Christian McCaffrey Makes Statement To the Media About How He Is Currently Feeling
San Francisco’s star running back spoke to the media on Wednesday about how he is currently feeling during mandatory minicamp. McCaffrey said,
“No, I feel great. This offseason, I spent a lot of time kind of building back a base starting from scratch. A lot of it was rehab. I wanted to put myself in a position where I didn’t miss a day of OTAs and I could practice and play football again and be healthy and not miss a day. I did that. And now we can kind of kick back up to training again. But, I feel great.”
This is good for him, and this is good for 49ers fans to hear. However, it will be interesting to see if McCaffrey will be able to stay healthy for San Francisco during training camp. During the 2024 season, he only rushed for 202 yards on 50 carries and zero touchdowns, along with averaging 4.0 yards per carry.
He also caught 15 passes for 146 yards receiving and zero touchdowns, along with averaging 9.7 yards per reception. McCaffrey will hope to stay on the field more for San Francisco in 2025. When he stays on the field, quarterback Brock Purdy looks better. If he can’t stay on the field in 2025 also, then the 49ers could be in trouble once again.
