McCaffrey Clears Up Trade Comments, Has 'No Bad Blood' With Panthers

Christian McCaffrey made it a point that he has no ill will toward Carolina.

Earlier this month, San Francisco 49ers running back Christian McCaffrey told Cam Inman of Bay Area News Group at the annual Dwight Clark Legacy Series event that Carolina trading him was, “In hindsight, I firmly believe it’s the best thing that ever happened to me.

"I say this with the utmost respect, this is a family,” McCaffrey said. “It’s the first time I felt like, even alumni, just getting to know these guys, it’s special; it’s different, and there’s a reason it’s sustainable and has been for so long. The word I would use now is, just very proud to be a part of this organization.”

After seeing a lot of the Panthers faithful not take those comments lightly, McCaffrey made sure to clarify his comments on the trade during a recent appearance on Good Morning Football.

"I do want to make it clear that was nothing against Carolina when I said that. I have no bad blood and I love everybody there. I still keep in touch with a lot of my teammates there and a lot of the coaches who I had the privilege of playing for there."
