Olivia Culpo Reacts To 49ers Trading For Christian McCaffrey (Video)

The Carolina Panthers trading Christian McCaffrey to the San Francisco 49ers this week surprised his girlfriend Olivia Culpo as much as everyone else.

McCaffrey, who is originally from The Bay and went to Stanford, was dispatched to the Niners in return for a second rounder, third rounder and fourth rounder in 2023, as well a fifth rounder in 2024.

Part of the reason why Carolina was able to emerge with such a haul for the oft-injured running back is because San Francisco and the Los Angeles Rams ended up bidding against each other – driving up the price.

Shortly after news of the trade went viral, Culpo took to Instagram to react:

This isn’t the first time in recent weeks Culpo has found herself trending. Between her wild photos from the Panthers’ most recent defeat and her crazy party videos from the season opener – it has been one thing after another with her.

Plus, Culpo also has more than 5.2 million followers on Instagram and routinely puts out content like this for them:

It will be interesting to see what McCaffrey is ultimately able to do for the Niners. They have been pretty middle-of-the-road when it comes to both rushing touchdowns and rushing yardage, so theoretically this should boost them in that regard.

Of course, everything is predicated on McCaffrey staying healthy. There have already been some scares in 2022, which is less than ideal when you have a guy who played in just 10 outings over the past two years coming into the season.

So far in 2022-23 McCaffrey is averaging 4.6 yards per carry – which is roughly in line with his career stats. He also already has two touchdowns, which is nice given that he recorded six combined in two seasons between 2020 and 2021.

Obviously San Francisco’s quarterback situation leaves something to be desired. Trey Lance’s stripper drama and other various controversies led to a lot of questions about him before he even got hurt. And Jimmy Garoppolo is Jimmy Garoppolo.

But a healthy McCaffrey should be a net positive for the 49ers.

Clearly he and Culpo are excited to be heading to The Bay.

Will the hype ultimately prove to be justified for all parties involved?

Time will tell.
