San Francisco 49ers running back Christian McCaffrey's Pro Bowl snub didn't go unnoticed by fans. His name was a rather shocking omission from the initial NFC roster.
The NFL has corrected that mistake. According to ESPN's Field Yates, McCaffrey has been named to the Pro Bowl as a replacement for Philadelphia Eagles running back Miles Sanders.
49ers RB Christian McCaffrey has been named to the Pro Bowl.
McCaffrey, a mid-season trade addition by the 49ers, finished the 2022 season with an impressive 1,880 all-purpose yards and 13 total touchdowns. He rushed for 746 yards and six touchdowns, adding 52 receptions for 464 yards and four touchdowns following the October 20 move to San Francisco.
The Carolina Panthers made McCaffrey the No. 8 overall pick in the 2017 NFL Draft. This is the running back's second Pro Bowl selection (2019).
McCaffrey was initially named as an alternate. The 49ers' other alternates are center Jake Brendel, kicker Robbie Gould, return specialist/wide receiver Ray-Ray McCloud, wide receiver Deebo Samuel, cornerback Charvarius Ward, and punter Mitch Wishnowsky.
