San Francisco 49ers running back Christian McCaffrey joined country music superstar Zach Bryan on stage during his concert at the Red Rocks Amphitheater in Morrison, Colorado, Monday.

Rather than just popping the crowd with his appearance, McCaffrey joined in on the act, performing a keyboard solo as Bryan belted out his hit song “Revival.”

Turns out, McCaffrey is a man of many talents as in addition to being one of the best running backs in the NFL, is quite the musician.

“running the field or running the keys? a brother of mine,” Bryan tweeted. “was legendary man.”

McCaffrey thanked Bryan, named New Male Artist of the Year at the 2023 American Country Music Awards last month.

“Cheers to the great @zachlanebryan,” McCaffrey wrote on Twitter. “You’re the man. Appreciate you brother.”

Bryan, on his Burn, Burn, Burn Tour, has been making a habit of bringing NFL stars on stage this week. He notably teamed up with New York Giants quarterback Daniel Jones to sing “Revival” at Forest Hills Stadium in New York Saturday. Bryan took the opportunity to troll the 26-year-old, dropping a “Go Birds” as the two shared the mic.

Christian McCaffrey gearing up for 2nd season with San Francisco 49ers

McCaffrey, 27, is entering his second season with the 49ers after coming over in a midseason trade last season from the Carolina Panthers. In 11 games in San Francisco, he rushed for 746 yards on 4.7 yards per carry and six touchdowns. He added 52 receptions for 464 yards and four scores.

49ers tight end George Kittle believes a full season of McCaffrey will go a long way in determining how far the team will go in 2023.

“McCaffrey is one-of-a-kind,” Kittle said on “Good Morning Football” earlier this month. “Just being able to be in the locker room next to him, being able to block for him, see his mindset every single day in the locker room, on the practice field, how he takes care of his body – he is professional.

“Everything he does is to set himself up for success on the football field. You love to be around guys like that. You love guys with that mindset. It’s infectious.”
