Is Christian McCaffrey colorblind? Girlfriend Olivia Culpo drops intriguing detail about 49ers RB
Christian McCaffrey shows off his amazing talents on the football field each week during the NFL season, making incredible plays on the ground and in the air. But, on Thursday (March 2) morning, his girlfriend, former Miss Universe, Olivia Culpo posted a video of McCaffrey on her Instagram stories and captioned it by asking her followers if they were aware that Christian is color blind.
"Trivia Question: did you know Christian is color blind?"
"So beautiful and gray, Wow all of the many colors. There's gray, dark gray and light gray."
"You get jersey tackled, you're grounded."

In the video, the San Francisco 49ers running back is seen looking out the window of an airplane. McCaffrey said that he can see all of the colors, as Olivia Culpo laughs and says that it is all one color for him. He then jokes that it's three different shades of gray that he sees when he looks out the window.
Granted, the view out of the window to a gloomy winter day, did look a bit gray but apparently, the running back is color blind. An interesting fact that hadn't been revealed in the past about him. Not that it hinders his playing career at all, as long as he knows who he is getting the ball from, that's all that matters.
What was RB Christian McCaffrey's reaction when he was traded to the 49ers?
Christian McCaffrey didn't say much after he was traded by the Carolina Panthers to the San Francisco 49ers last year. Instead, he kept an eye on the prize and continued playing the game at a high level, which helped lead the 49ers to the NFC title game.

McCaffrey, who was traded eighth overall by the Panthers in 2017, expected to play his career out with the team. But six games into the 2022 NFL season and after being told that he wouldn't be traded, he was sent to San Francisco.
“It’s a weird deal because there’s so many emotions, and the first emotion is probably anger. Like, you guys don’t want me anymore? That’s really what it is. ‘Well, they got a lot for you.’ Nah, like you think you’re better off without me; that’s what it is. You’re pissed off, but then you’re excited.
Christian McCaffrey recently said on the "Bussin' with the Boys" podcast that he was angry at first because he felt like he wasn't wanted anymore in Carolina. The 26-year-old said it was a tough situation because he felt like they were just ready to move on from him for no reason. He said that once the anger wore off, he was excited for the next chapter.
