The NFL offseason continues, and Christian McCaffrey’s name has frequently come up in trade rumors involving his team, the San Francisco 49ers. However, for now, all this talk remains speculation, and McCaffrey is still the star of Kyle Shanahan’s squad.

McCaffrey recently visited his high school, Valor Christian High School in Colorado, where the NFL star was honored in a ceremony retiring his number 5 jersey-an event that officially immortalized him.

Alongside the honor of having his jersey retired, McCaffrey was joined by his wife, Olivia Culpo. The wife of the 49ers running back shared the emotional moment on Instagram, revealing that she was “crying the whole time.” According to her, the emotions were heightened, partly due to hormonal changes from her pregnancy.
The heartfelt tribute, combined with reliving the great moments McCaffrey had at Valor Christian High School, made it a truly unforgettable occasion. Christian racked up 141 touchdowns and 8,845 total yards during his high school career. Notably, he won the Gatorade Football Player of the Year award in both 2012 and 2013.
Christian McCaffrey and his NFL future
On a personal level, McCaffrey is undoubtedly thriving. He married Olivia Culpo a year ago, and now they are expecting their first child. But not everything is smooth sailing.
Although he’s a clear NFL star, McCaffrey is coming off a season marked by two significant injuries, limiting him to just four games. As a result, there’s been offseason speculation about whether the 49ers should at least entertain trade offers for the running back.
It’s all just rumors at this point, but with the Dallas Cowboys actively searching for a top-tier running back, it wouldn’t be surprising if Jerry Jones and company made an offer for the 49ers’ standout star.
