Path to Super Bowl LX: 49ers’ CMC the most important non-quarterback in postseason picture

No sense in worrying about the workload of the 49ers’ indestructible Christian McCaffrey.

Not after 303 rushes (for 1,179 yards), 96 receptions (for 890 yards) and 17 touchdowns. Coach Kyle Shanahan has fielded questions ever since McCaffrey arrived three seasons ago about the running back’s workload. As much as Shanahan would like to spell McCaffery and his 29-year-old body, which features a “stiff” back that has him on the injury list this week, the coach simply can’t bring himself to do it.
