Welcome to another episode of Bussin' With The Boys featuring special guest, 49ers star running back and NFL comeback player of the year, Christian McCaffrey. Will Compton & Taylor Lewan sit down with christian McCaffrey fresh off his Comeback Player of the Year season and carrying the load for a beat-up 49ers roster, CMC gets real about the responsibility of being the guy, the mental side of the grind, and how this season tested him. The conversation also touches on Mac Jones’ strong year, George Kittle battling injuries, and some legendary behind the scenes football talk including stories about Julius Peppers’ freak athleticism and why Luke Kuechly was the gold standard on the practice field in Carolina, when CMC was at the Panthers.

Outside the game, CMC talks through how he decompresses, what his daily training routine actually looks like in season, stepping into fatherhood, and how growing up playing multiple sports helped build his skill set. Plus, there’s a classic Super Bowl week moment thrown in that perfectly sums up the chaos of the week.
