Carolina Panthers star running back Christian McCaffrey had 72 receiving yards in Sunday’s 42-10 loss to the New Orleans Saints to become the third player in NFL history to accumulate 1,000 rushing yards and 1,000 receiving yards in the same season. McCaffrey exited in the fourth quarter with 1,387 rushing yards and 1,005 receiving yards. “Every year I write down little goals and that was one of them,” McCaffrey said during the postgame press conference of joining the 1,000/1,000 club. Craig became the first player to achieve the 1,000/1,000 feat when he rushed for 1,050 yards and had 1,016 receiving yards for the San Francisco 49ers. Faulk joined the club 14 years later when he rushed for 1,381 yards and had 1,048 receiving yards for the St. Louis Rams.
