Since his college days at Stanford, 49ers running back Christian McCaffrey has shaped his legacy on the field by honing his multi-faceted skillset en route to becoming one of the NFL’s best offensive players. But even during the football offseason, McCaffrey’s Renaissance-style range of talents was on full display—this time in the music arena.

During Monday night’s Zach Bryan concert at Red Rocks Amphitheatre in Morrison, Colo., Bryan brought McCaffrey up on stage, where the two-time All-Pro wowed the crowd in his home state by tickling the ivories with a keyboard solo that sent everybody in attendance into a frenzy.

McCaffrey later drifted toward the microphone to lend some vocals to the whole proceedings, and while his singing might not have matched his skills on the keyboard, it was the perfect follow-up to what was a virtuoso performance.

McCaffrey’s versatility is nothing new to football fans. He has a pair of 100-catch seasons under his belt, and in 2019 became the third player in NFL history to notch 1,000 yards rushing and receiving in the same season. His latest performance will surely cue music lovers to his otherworldly talents, too.
