Christian McCaffrey just showed that he has a little “Amadeus” in him.
The San Francisco 49ers running back apparently can do more than just evade tackles and burn rubber on the football field, as McCaffrey joined Zach Bryan on stage during the country music star’s concert on Friday.
Jeff Darlington of ESPN shared some clips of the Niners star hitting the keys, impressing fans who had no idea before that McCaffrey can also play the piano.

Although it was not the first time McCaffrey had shown his piano skills, many seemed to learn about it for the first time upon seeing him flex it on the concert.
What CAN’T he do????🤩

Need to have a chat with God about spreading around the talent, @CMC_22

San Francisco failed to reach Super Bowl LX, but McCaffrey somehow managed to steal the spotlight days before the Seattle Seahawks and the New England Patriots lock horns to determine who takes home the Vince Lombardi Trophy.
Racking up yards and finding the end zone are still McCaffrey’s top abilities, but playing piano is an endeavor he can continue long after his football skills fade.
The 29-year-old McCaffrey rushed for 1,202 yards and 10 touchdowns on 311 carries in 17 games in the 2025 NFL season. In addition, the former Stanford Cardinal star recorded 924 receiving yards and 7 touchdowns on 102 catches and 129 targets.
