Shannon Sharpe on Christian McCaffrey:
Shannon: If Christian McCaffrey was black, he’d be picked in the top 10
"If he was black, this dude would be a top-10 pick. Because guess what, Skip? He ran one tick slower than Ezekiel Elliott. He had a 5.5-inch higher vertical. He had four inches on the standing long jump, and his short shuttle was 6.57. Odell Beckham Jr. ran a slower time -- now we know how quick Odell Beckham Jr. is in a confined space.
"In 2015, he rushed for 2,019 yards. He broke Barry Sanders’ record for most total yards in a season. He followed that up with 1,600 rush yards, another 300 catching and another 400 returning punts.
"We already know the guy can catch. He’s got cat quickness, there’s not a route he can’t run. He could legitimately be a receiver in the National Football League.
"… He checked everything. ‘He looks fast.’ Ran fast. ‘He looks explosive.’ He was explosive. ‘He looks quick.’ Short shuttle says he’s quick. ‘He look like he’s got great hands.’ Check, check, check, check, check.
"But because he’s white … we don’t normally see white guys being running backs taken in the first round. When was the last one, CC? I can’t even remember."
