Stanford junior running back Christian McCaffrey will declare for the NFL draft, according to a report by Matt Miller of Bleacher Report.

Miller, who specifically writes about draft prospects, believes McCaffrey will be a first-round pick.

McCaffrey, a Heisman finalist in 2015, has amassed 3,922 rushing yards, 1,206 receiving yards, 1,859 return yards and 33 total touchdowns in his three seasons with the Cardinal.

Overall, Miller has McCaffrey as the third-best running back in the draft behind LSU’s Leonard Fournette and Florida State’s Dalvin Cook.
