With just weeks before the NFL draft, one running back is getting a lot of love, and it's not who you might think.
Here's one for Wednesday night. Heard from multiple front office execs over last few days. Feeling is now Christian McCaffery goes Top 10.

We all know about Leonard Fournette, and how most mock drafts have him going as high as No. 4 to Jacksonville (if he slips passed the Jags, most don't expect him to get past the Carolina Panthers at No. 8). But McCaffery, a 2015 Heisman finalist, in the top 10 is a bit stunner.

Various reports, however, rave about his two-way playing ability, like report from Sports Illustrated. The report notes that not only is McCaffery a terrific change-of-pace runner, but he's also an adept receiver who could also contribute as a return man. The report also notes he has the athletic ability and speed needed at that position.
Now, we'll wait to see if a team really believes he's a top-10 talent.
