McCaffrey was also a standout sprinter on the track and field team. As a sophomore, he placed second in the 100-meter dash at the Mountain Vista Boulder Invitational with a career-best time of 10.75 seconds. As a junior in 2013, he finished sixth in the 100-meter dash (10.89s) and ninth in the 200-meter dash (22.17s) at the CHSAA State Meet.

Considered one of the best one hundred football players in his national high school class, he was selected as a 2014 U.S. Army All-American. He was rated by Rivals.com as a four-star recruit and was ranked as the third best all-purpose back in his class and 77th best player overall. He committed to Stanford University to play college football.

College career

McCaffrey played in all 13 games as a true freshman for the Cardinal in 2014. He shared the backfield with Remound Wright, Barry J. Sanders, and Kelsey Young. In his collegiate debut, he had a 52-yard receiving touchdown against UC Davis. He finished the year with 300 rushing yards on 43 carries and 251 receiving yards on 17 receptions with two total touchdowns.

2015 season

McCaffrey had a breakout sophomore season in 2015. He surpassed Barry Sanders' NCAA record of 3,250 all-purpose yards, finishing with 3,864. McCaffrey ranked second in the nation with 2,019 rushing yards, becoming the first Stanford player to rush for 2,000 in a season. He also set numerous other Stanford records during the season including rushing yards in a single game (243) and all-purpose yards in a game (461).

McCaffrey was a consensus All-American and was the Associated Press College Football Player of the Year, Pac-12 Player of the Year, and Paul Hornung Award winner. He also finished second to Alabama's Derrick Henry in the 2015 Heisman Trophy voting.

He set the school record for all purpose yards in a single game in the Pac-12 Championship against USC with 461 total yards.

During the 2016 Rose Bowl against Iowa, McCaffrey became the first player to rush for over 100 yards (172) and have over 100 yards receiving (109) in a Rose Bowl game. Overall, he set a new Rose Bowl record with 368 all-purpose yards, breaking the previous record set in 2012 by Wisconsin's Jared Abbrederis.

2016 season

Through the end of the 2016 regular season, McCaffrey led the nation in all purpose yards (211.6 yards per game). He led the Pac-12 Conference in rushing yards (1,603) and ranked fourth in the nation in rushing yards per game (145.7). After being injured during the Cardinal's 42–16 loss to Washington State on October 8, McCaffrey sat out for the team's 17–10 victory in the 2016 edition of the Notre Dame-Stanford rivalry the following week. McCaffrey set a Stanford single-game rushing record with 284 rushing yards against California. McCaffrey was named to the 2016 All-Pac-12 first-team and was named the CoSIDA Academic All-American of the Year. After the season, he decided to enter the 2017 NFL draft.

On December 19, McCaffrey announced he would not participate in the team's Sun Bowl game against North Carolina, opting to skip the game to prepare for the NFL draft. His decision was met with mixed reactions; supporters agreed it was a smart decision, while those opposing considered the move selfish, and potentially detrimental to college football should other players follow suit. Radio host Mike Greenberg, in defense of McCaffrey, said, "Calling Christian McCaffrey a quitter for skipping an exhibition game to prepare for his career is the height of just not getting it." By 2018, NFL draft prospects sitting out bowls had become much more common and caused little controversy among fans.

On May 4, 2017, the Carolina Panthers signed McCaffrey to a four-year, $17.2 million contract with a signing bonus of $10.7 million.

McCaffrey made his NFL season debut in the Panthers' season-opener against the San Francisco 49ers and recorded 47 rushing yards, 38 receiving yards, and a lost fumble in a 23–3 victory. In Week 3, against the New Orleans Saints, he had nine receptions for 101 yards. In Week 5 against the Detroit Lions, McCaffrey scored his first career touchdown on a six-yard shovel pass from quarterback Cam Newton. In Week 9, against the Atlanta Falcons, he scored his first career rushing touchdown on a four-yard rush in the second quarter. In the team's Monday Night Football win over the Miami Dolphins, McCaffrey scored twice–one rushing and one receiving–and totaled 50 yards. In Week 15, in a victory over the Green Bay Packers, McCaffrey brought his season total to 73 catches and five receiving touchdowns, being the only rookie running back in NFL history with at least 70 receptions and five touchdown catches before being joined by Alvin Kamara later in the season. The following week, against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, McCaffrey brought his catch total to 75, breaking the Panthers rookie record of 74 set by Kelvin Benjamin. He finished his rookie season with 435 rushing yards, two rushing touchdowns, 80 receptions, 651 receiving yards, and five receiving touchdowns. The Panthers made the playoffs as the #5-seed. In the Wild Card Round against the New Orleans Saints, he had 16 rushing yards, six receptions, 101 receiving yards, and one receiving touchdown in the 31–26 loss.

2018 season

In Week 2, against the Falcons, McCaffrey recorded a career-high 14 receptions for 102 receiving yards to go along with 37 rushing yards in the 31–24 loss. In Week 3, against the Cincinnati Bengals, he had 28 carries for a career-high 184 rushing yards in the 31–21 victory. Though limited in yardage for much of the middle of the season, from Weeks 8–10 McCaffrey compiled seven touchdowns in three games (joining DeAngelo Williams in 2008 as the only other Panther with this distinction), including all of Carolina's scores in a 52–21 loss to the Pittsburgh Steelers. On November 25, 2018, McCaffrey became the first Panther ever to have over 100 yards rushing and receiving in the same game. He had 125 yards rushing and 112 yards receiving in a loss to the Seattle Seahawks. The 237 yards set a Panthers franchise record for most yards from scrimmage in a game. He also was the first player since Arian Foster in 2011 to have 100+ yards and a touchdown both rushing and receiving, and the only player with 10+ receptions in such a game. During Week 15, in a Monday Night Football showdown against the 11–2 Saints, McCaffrey threw a 50-yard touchdown pass on 4th and 2 to Chris Manhertz. With 50 rushing, 50 receiving and 50 passing yards, he joined Walter Payton and Gale Sayers as the only others to achieve this. During Week 16 against the Atlanta Falcons, McCaffrey broke Matt Forte's record for most receptions by a running back in a single season, finishing with 101 rushing yards and 77 receiving yards as the Panthers lost 10–24. Since the Panthers were eliminated from the playoffs, he had a limited role in the Week 17 victory over the New Orleans Saints with 40 total yards. Overall, he finished the 2018 season with 1,098 rushing yards, seven rushing touchdowns, 107 receptions, 867 receiving yards, and six receiving touchdowns. McCaffrey had the opposite of a sophomore slump, as he became the Panthers franchise record holder of all-purpose yards in a season with 1,965. He was ranked 42nd by his fellow players on the NFL Top 100 Players of 2019.

2019 season

In Week 1 against the Los Angeles Rams, McCaffrey rushed 19 times for 128 yards and two touchdowns and caught 10 passes for 81 yards as the Panthers lost 27–30. He played every offensive snap and became the first player to post 10 or more receptions and 120 or more rushing yards in two career games. After losing All-Pro quarterback Cam Newton in Week 2, the Panthers beat the Arizona Cardinals 38–20 in Week 3, where McCaffrey rushed 24 times for 153 yards with a career long 76-yard touchdown and caught three passes for 35 yards.

In Week 6 against the Buccaneers, McCaffrey rushed 22 times for 31 yards and one touchdown and caught four passes for 26 yards and one touchdown in the 37–26 win.

During Week 9 against the Tennessee Titans, McCaffrey finished with 146 rushing yards, 20 receiving yards, and 3 total touchdowns as the Panthers won 30–20. That performance helped him maintain the league lead in rushing yards and rushing touchdowns over the Minnesota Vikings' Dalvin Cook he held from Week 6 to the midpoint of the season (through 8 games). McCaffrey continued his touchdown streak in Week 10 against the Packers on the road, carrying the ball 20 times for 108 yards on the ground and one score, while hauling in six catches for 33 yards. He also fumbled for the first time this season, and was stopped just short of the goal line in a failed comeback late in the fourth quarter in the 16–24 loss. During a Week 11 29–3 loss to the Falcons, McCaffrey finished with 121 receiving yards and 70 rushing yards; his 191 yards from scrimmage was again more than the rest of team's combined 156. He recorded his 53rd reception, breaking LaDainian Tomlinson's record for the most catches by a running back in an NFL player's first three seasons. In Week 12, against the Saints, he totaled 133 scrimmage yards (64 rushing, 69 receiving), a rushing touchdown, and a receiving touchdown.

McCaffrey finished the 2019 season with 1,387 rushing yards and 15 rushing touchdowns to go along with 116 receptions for 1,005 receiving yards and four receiving touchdowns. This performance led to McCaffrey being selected for his first Pro Bowl, played on January 26, 2020. He earned First-team All-Pro honors. McCaffrey finished third in Offensive Player of the Year voting. He accounted for 43% of his team's offensive yards during the season, the largest percentage of any individual player in the NFL. He was ranked sixth by his fellow players on the NFL Top 100 Players of 2020.

2020 season

On April 16, 2020, McCaffrey signed a four-year, $64 million contract extension with the Panthers through the 2025 season, making him the highest-paid running back in NFL history.

In Week 2 against the Buccaneers, he totaled 88 scrimmage yards and two rushing touchdowns in the 31–17 loss. When McCaffrey rushed for his second touchdown early in the fourth quarter, he suffered a high ankle sprain and missed the rest of the game. He was placed on injured reserve on September 23. He was activated on November 7 prior to Week 9. In Week 9 against the Kansas City Chiefs, McCaffrey recorded 69 rushing yards and a rushing touchdown and 82 receiving yards and a receiving touchdown during the 33–31 loss. During the game, McCaffrey suffered a shoulder injury and was later ruled out of the Panthers' following game and later the remainder of the season. He was ranked 44th by his fellow players on the NFL Top 100 Players of 2021.

2021 season

McCaffrey started the 2021 season with 177 scrimmage yards in Week 1 against the New York Jets and 137 scrimmage yards in Week 2 against the Saints.

He was activated on November 6 for Week 9. He went over 100 scrimmage yards in the following three games. On November 29, the Panthers announced that McCaffrey would miss the remainder of the season with an ankle injury he suffered during the Panthers Week 12 loss to the Dolphins. He finished the 2021 season with 442 rushing yards, 343 receiving yards, and two total touchdowns in seven games.

San Francisco 49ers

2022 season

McCaffrey was traded to the 49ers on October 20, 2022, in exchange for a second, third, and fourth-round pick in the 2023 NFL draft, and a fifth-round pick in the 2024 draft.

McCaffrey made his 49ers debut in Week 7 against the Chiefs, where he had 38 rushing yards and 24 receiving yards in the 44–23 loss. In Week 8 against the Rams, McCaffrey became the first 49ers running back to record passing, rushing, and receiving touchdowns in the same game. McCaffrey was the fourth player since the 1970 AFL–NFL merger to complete the trifecta. He was named National Football Conference (NFC) Offensive Player of the Week for Week 8. In Week 13, against the Dolphins, he had 146 scrimmage yards and a receiving touchdown in the 33–17 victory. In the following game against the Buccaneers, he had 153 scrimmage yards, one rushing touchdown, and one receiving touchdown in the 35–7 victory.

In the NFC Championship, he had 106 scrimmage yards and a rushing touchdown in the 31–7 loss to the Philadelphia Eagles. The 49ers' quarterback room in the game was so depleted to injury that McCaffrey had to line up as the emergency quarterback. He was ranked 35th by his fellow players on the NFL Top 100 Players of 2023.

2023 season

During Week 1 against the Pittsburgh Steelers, McCaffrey had 22 carries for 152 yards and a touchdown, as well as three receptions for 17 yards.

In Week 3 against the New York Giants, McCaffrey had 18 carries for 85 yards and a touchdown, and five receptions for 34 yards. Against the Arizona Cardinals in Week 4, McCaffrey had 20 carries for 106 yards and three touchdowns, and seven receptions for 71 yards and a touchdown. With his first touchdown in the game, and his 13th straight game with a touchdown, McCaffrey broke Jerry Rice's franchise record for most consecutive games with a touchdown. He was named both FedEx Ground Player of the Week (for a fourth straight time), and NFC Offensive Player of the Week.

In Week 8, against the Cincinnati Bengals, McCaffrey had 12 rushes for 54 yards and one touchdown, as well as six receptions for 64 yards and a touchdown in the 31–17 loss. With a 2-yard rushing score, McCaffrey tied Lenny Moore's NFL record for the most games in a row with a touchdown score recorded, having had 17 straight games with a touchdown. However, the streak would be broken during their Week 10 matchup against the Jacksonville Jaguars, in which he recorded 16 carries for 95 yards, and six receptions for 47 yards. During Week 12 against the Seattle Seahawks, McCaffrey recorded 19 carries for 114 yards and two touchdowns, as well as five receptions for 25 yards.

Against the Washington Commanders, McCaffrey recorded 14 carries for 64 yards, as well as four receptions for 27 yards. During the second half of the game, he would be taken out with a mild calf strain. Despite it being minor, he would still be designated as one of the starters to sit out for the season finale against the Rams. McCaffrey finished his first full season with the 49ers leading the league in rushing yards (1,459), touches (339), yards from scrimmage (2,023), and touchdowns (21). His 1,459 rushing yards were a career-best, along with his yards per rushing attempt (5.4) and receiving touchdowns (7). McCaffrey won his first Offensive Player of the Year award and finished third in NFL MVP voting, behind quarterbacks Dak Prescott and Lamar Jackson.

In the 49ers' playoff game against the Green Bay Packers in the Divisional Round, McCaffrey had 17 carries for 98 yards and two touchdowns, as well as seven receptions for 30 yards. McCaffrey scored the game-winning touchdown on a 6-yard run in the 24–21 victory. In the 2024 NFC Championship Game game against the Detroit Lions, McCaffrey finished with 20 carries for 90 yards and two touchdowns, as well as 4 receptions for 42 yards as the 49ers would comeback from a 24–7 deficit at halftime to win 34–31 en route to Super Bowl LVIII. Against the Kansas City Chiefs in the Super Bowl, McCaffrey rushed 22 times for 80 yards while catching all eight of his targets for 80 yards and a touchdown. He became the first player in Super Bowl history to have at least 75 rushing yards and 75 receiving yards in the same game. He also lost a fumble in the first quarter as the 49ers lost 25–22 in overtime.

Christian Mccaffrey 
McCaffrey in 2019

McCaffrey's father, Ed McCaffrey, played college football at Stanford and in the NFL, mostly for the Denver Broncos, from 1991 to 2003. His mother, Lisa Sime, played soccer at Stanford. His older brother Max played football at Duke University, and then on several NFL teams as a wide receiver. His younger brother, Dylan, is a quarterback at Northern Colorado. His youngest brother, Luke, is a wide receiver at Rice University. His uncle, Billy McCaffrey, played college basketball at Duke and Vanderbilt University. His maternal grandfather is Dave Sime, an Olympic track star.

McCaffrey is Catholic. He has said, "My faith is very important to me and that's why I'm praying all the time. When you have a bunch of people chanting your name, it's important that you give the honor and glory back to the person, God, that's allowing me to do this."

McCaffrey has been in a relationship with Miss Universe 2012 and fashion influencer Olivia Culpo since 2019, and on April 7, 2023, they announced their engagement.

In 2018, McCaffrey appeared on a commercial for the NFL, along with Jay Ajayi, Todd Gurley, and DeAndre Hopkins.
