Top 10 biggest boom or bust players in 2017 NFL Draft

Patrick Mahomes

Christian McCaffrey, running back, Stanford

Much like Peppers, Stanford running back Christian McCaffrey was a do-everything player for the Cardinal.

In three seasons at Stanford, he rushed for 3,922 yards and 21 touchdowns, caught 99 receptions for 1,206 yards and 10 touchdowns, and he notched 1,859 total yards and two touchdowns as a kick and punt returner.

He’s dynamic, explosive and a true gamer. But he’s only 6-foot, 197 pounds, and one has to wonder if he’ll hold up through a 16 game NFL season — especially considering how many times he could potentially touch the football.

If he remains healthy, McCaffrey undoubtedly has star potential. Considering the load he carried at Stanford, though, one has to wonder how many truly elite carries his body has left.
