McCaffrey needed just 34 receiving yards to reach 4,500 career receiving yards—and he achieved the milestone in the third quarter against Seattle.

Now in his ninth NFL season, McCaffrey is aiming to help the 49ers rebound from a disappointing 2024 campaign that ended with a 6-11 record and a last-place finish in the NFC West.
