The NFL’s trade deadline is over a week away, but the San Francisco 49ers have already made a huge splash.

All-Pro running back Christian McCaffrey is heading to the Bay Area as the 49ers have acquired the 26-year-old from the Carolina Panthers in return for multiple draft picks.

During Friday morning’s edition of The Carmichael Dave Show with Jason Ross, the guys were joined by Greg Papa, the radio voice of the 49ers, to talk about what Kyle Shanahan’s offense could look like with the dangerous McCaffrey in the fold, discuss what the move means for other players on the roster, and much more.

Topics Discussed:

  • Papa previews his touchdown call for new 49ers RB Christian McCaffrey
  • How important could McCaffrey be for Kyle Shanahan’s offense?
  • When will we see McCaffrey make his 49ers debut?
  • “He’s all football. He wanted to come here.”
  • How will this trade affect Brandon Aiyuk and Elijah Mitchell’s roles in the offense?
