Andrews always delivers the hard-hitting questions, and her interview with McCaffrey was no different. At one point, the veteran broadcaster asked McCaffrey if anything about this 49ers group surprised him amid their success this season.<\/p>\n

McCaffrey expressed how highly he thinks of his teammates.<\/p>\n

\u201cYou definitely, you don’t know it until it happens,\u201d McCaffrey said.\u00a0\u201cI think you learn and grow with the team as the season goes on and as games go on, you win and lose and you kind of find out the character of your team each week.<\/p>\n

\u201cI think our team character is representative of each individual’s character. We have so many guys that individually were counted out in their lives and were kind of underdogs. And I think when you all kind of collectively come together, it makes for a\u00a0special group.\u201d<\/p>\n

While McCaffrey drew the attention of fans on social media, Andrews also turned heads with another on-point interview.<\/p>\n

\u201cSo gooood,\u201d reacted Fox Sports reporter Charissa Thompson. <\/p>\n
