Stanford running back Christian McCaffrey has decided to enter the 2017 NFL draft, announcing the news Wednesday on Twitter.Since I was 6 years old, Ive wanted to play in the NFL, McCaffrey wrote in a follow-up news release. Its been on every list of goals that Ive ever written. Now, its time to take that step. Theres nothing more I can put on film. I love Stanford more than anything.

McCaffrey won the AP National Player of the Year award and finished second in that seasons Heisman Trophy voting behind Alabamas Derrick Henry. He led Stanford to a 45-16 walloping of Iowa in the Rose Bowl, racking up a record 368 all-purpose yards in the process.McCaffrey entered 2016 as a faster and stronger player than the year before.

Stanford does a great job of encouraging former players to return and graduate.McCaffrey said that he consulted former Stanford running back and fellow Heisman runner-up Toby Gerhart about a jump to the NFL this season. He also discussed his decision with Cardinal coach David Shaw, who recently said there was no wrong decision.McCaffrey is ranked No. 28 on Todd McShays latest Top 32 prospects list and is the fourth-ranked running back in Mel Kipers positional rankings.
