Carolina Panthers running back Christian McCaffrey is coming off the best year of his career and is quickly becoming one of the better running backs in the league.
Even being one of the best running backs in the league still puts him a long ways away from being in the conversation of being a Hall of Famer, but Kay Adams of NFL Network thinks that one day McCaffrey will have a bust in Canton.
During Friday's episode of Good Morning Football on NFL Network, Adams picked McCaffrey as one young player she sees making it into the Hall of Fame.

Adams thinks one of the biggest reason McCaffrey can be a Hall of Famer is because of his pass catching ability out of the backfield.
“I think he's a legit threat to put up 1,000 on the ground, 1,000 through the air, which puts him in the rare company that is Hall of Fame stuff (Marshall Faulk, who had 1,000+ rushing and 1,000+ receiving yards in 1999, was inducted into the Hall of Fame in 2011). I think he's a unique talent, and the way he approaches the game and the way he's looking, we haven't seen the best of him,” said Adams. “So he is for sure, in my head, going into the Hall of Fame. I can see the Gold Jacket already.”
McCaffrey is entering just his third year in the league, so talk about the Hall of Fame might be a little early, but there is no doubt he has the talent as long as he stays healthy to make a very good case.
