Stanford running back Christian McCaffrey is the ankle-breaking king of college football, and he was at it again on Thursday night.
After being held mostly in check on the ground against Kansas State midway through the second quarter, the Heisman candidate broke off a 35-yard touchdown run that included quite a nifty juke move.

While the jump cut will get all the attention (gotta feel for that poor, helpless defender), the patience and vision displayed by McCaffrey was just as impressive.
Earlier in the game he pulled off an unbelievable escape on a return touchdown that was called back on a very questionable block in the back penalty.
Play called back for block in the back, but still fun to watch. pic.twitter.com/bkik8spTb9

At this point, pro scouts are just hoping this impressive young player can stay healthy. He looks like he’d be something special at the next level.
