December 14, 2015 – Christian McCaffrey is the Heisman Trophy runner-up
Yes, he now calls Palo Alto, Calif. home as a member of the Stanford Cardinal, but Christian McCaffrey will always have roots in Colorado. The son of former Broncos wide receiver Ed McCaffrey was a star at Valor Christian High School and as a sophomore at Stanford continued to add to his legacy. In 2015 he broke Barry Sanders‘ NCAA single-season all-purpose yards record en route to a runner-up finish for the Heisman Trophy. He was later named the AP College Football Player of the Year for his outstanding season.
