Christian McCaffrey's first career touchdown foreshadowed his versatility as a do-it-all offensive weapon. Lined up as an H-back on the right side, McCaffrey came across the line to the left as the quarterback option play was developing. Seeing he had a lane, quarterback Cam Newton hit him with a shovel pass, and he dodged one defender before trotting into the end zone for six. McCaffrey made five catches for 31 yards in this one, a 27-24 Carolina victory over Detroit on Oct. 8, 2017.
