The young running back for the San Francisco 49ers is happy to share his faith on and off the field.
On Sunday, the San Francisco 49ers will be taking on the Kansas City Chiefs in Super Bowl LVIII. While there’s been much chat about the Chiefs’ Travis Kelce and Taylor Swift, there is another star on the opposing team who has both talent and faith: running back Christian McCaffrey.
The devout Catholic attributes much of his success to his unwavering faith. As reported in the San Francisco Chronicle, the 27-year-old openly shares that he turns to prayer both on the sidelines and in the huddle, seeking not only the opportunity to play honorably, but also asking for the well-being of his teammates and opponents:
Hailing from a family deeply rooted in athletics and having attended a Catholic elementary school, McCaffrey’s faith journey has been integral to his life on and off the field. Even during his college years at Stanford, the football player made it known that his dedication to the game went beyond mere football, driven by his strong faith in God.
