The 49ers have McCaffrey, Deebo, Kittle, Juszcyyk and Aiyuk. They will be the MOST VERSATILE OFFENSE IN THE NFL personnel wise. Have a running back who could be a starting slot receiver. A WR who could be a starting RB and a FB who could be a starting RB or TE. NIGHTMARE MATCHUPS

Christian McCaffrey on the 49ers is going to be super fun. I don't care that they don't have a draft pick for 30 more years.

Christian McCaffrey to the @49ers is absolutely HUGE news. Kyle Shanahan more than any offensive coach gets the most out of his skill players. CMC will go crazy as a #49er, I can’t wait to watch.

I asked #49ers TE George Kittle his reaction to the Christian McCaffrey trade. He tells me:

“What a gift for National Tight Ends Day”
