WATCH: Christian McCaffrey makes history with 1,000 receiving yards

Christian McCaffrey NFL history

The Carolina Panthers were blown out by the New Orleans Saints on Sunday, marking their eighth consecutive loss to conclude a forgettable season.

One thing that was not forgettable for the Panthers was the performance of stud running back Christian McCaffrey.

By virtue of this 17-yard catch-and-run from Kyle Allen, McCaffrey surpassed 1,000 receiving yards on the season. Add in the 1,000-plus rushing yards the Pro Bowler has put up, and he’s made history in the process.

McCaffrey becomes just the third player in NFL history with both 1,000-plus yards through the air and on the ground. He joins all-time greats Marshall Faulk and Roger Craig on that exclusive list.

That really is an honor for the third-year back. What McCaffrey has done this season is nothing short of amazing. He entered Week 17 having put up a league-high 2,294 total yards with 18 touchdowns.

If Carolina had performed better as a team this season, McCaffrey would be a legit MVP candidate. Maybe that will come at a later time. For now, McCaffrey just put up one of the best individual seasons in NFL history.
