The accolades keep coming for San Francisco 49ers do-it-all running back Christian McCaffrey. Through the first two weeks of the season, McCaffrey is the NFL rushing yards leader, has won back-to-back Fedex Ground Player of the Week awards and on Thursday against the New York Giants, reached 5,000 career rushing yards.

The veteran running back hit the benchmark less than two minutes into Thursday's matchup, on a ten-yard carry during San Francisco's opening drive.
