San Francisco 49ers running back Christian McCaffrey was named the NFL’s Offensive Player of the Year for the 2023 season Thursday night during the NFL Honors awards ceremony in Las Vegas.
It wasn’t a surprise.
McCaffrey led the NFL with a career-high 1,459 rushing yards on a career-high 5.4 yards per attempt.
He also caught 67 passes for 564 yards and seven touchdowns.
His 2,023 total yards from scrimmage and 21 total touchdowns also led the NFL.
It was his first Offensive Player of the Year win.
His award was most certainly affected by two huge games had against the Arizona Cardinals. In two games against Arizona, McCaffrey rushed for 221 yards and four touchdowns and also had 12 catches for 143 yards and three touchdowns.
