After three incredible years at Stanford, I've decided to enter the 2017 NFL draft. #BlessedByTheBest

In a lengthy letter and a later news conference at Stanford, McCaffrey said he knew it was time to enter the draft following the Cardinal’s final regular-season game against Rice. After receiving advice from many — including his parents, former Stanford running back Toby Gerhart and coach David Shaw — he made it official.
“I’m ready. I just think I’m ready,” he said. “My body’s in the position it needs to be in to go out there and play at the next level. I’ve had some success in my college career, but after talking with Coach Shaw, talking with my dad, talking with a lot of other mentors in my life, I just thought I’m ready to go.”
