WATCH: When Orioles catcher Adley Rutschman tackled NFL star Christian McCaffrey during a college football game

Adley Rutschman is one of the best catchers on the Baltimore Orioles roster. He was also an excellent football player for the Oregon State Beavers during his college days but eventually committed to baseball.

On Saturday, during Baltimore's game against the Seattle Mariners, Fox Sports shared a video clip of Rutschman playing as a football kicker in his freshman year with the Beavers against Stanford in November 2016.

Although Rutschman was known for his kicking ability, the video highlighted his strength as he tackled former Stanford running back Christian McCaffrey, who currently plies his trade in the NFL with the San Francisco 49ers.

In the clip, McCaffrey is seen catching a short kick before making a charge on the kickoff return. The explosive running back skipped a few challenges before getting tackled to the ground by Rutschman.

It was a sturdy tackle by Rutschman and was marked impressive as it came against McCaffrey, who finished second in the Heisman Trophy voting in 2015.
