FILE - Washington Commanders wide receiver Luke McCaffrey works out before an NFL preseason football game against the New England Patriots, on Aug. 25, 2024, in Landover, Md. Luke McCaffrey this weekend will become the latest member of his family to play in the NFL . FILE - Washington Commanders wide receiver Luke McCaffrey, left, poses with his brother, Miami Dolphins offensive assistant Max McCaffrey on the field after an NFL pre-season football game, on Aug. 17, 2024, in Miami Gardens, Fla.
Ed won three Super Bowls total with San Francisco and Denver during a career lasting more than a decade spent catching passes for the New York Giants, the 49ers and then the Broncos. Christian is a two-time All-Pro running backand perennially among the top fantasy football picks in leagues around the world. Max appeared in six games in 2017 and ‘18 before moving into coaching, where he’s now an assistant with the Miami Dolphins.
Bloomgren said that was a struggle for McCaffrey at QB, part of what precipitated the position switch prior to the 2022 season. McCaffrey has since made 129 catches for 1,715 yards and 19 touchdowns, with nearly 400 yards rushing mixed in as a dual threat like Christian, a running back who’s just as reliable as a receiver out of the backfield.
“He came up as a quarterback and he understands the time that’s needed that you have to invest in the playbook,” Bloomgren said. “That’s been really cool for him to have under his belt as a receiver and not just understand how to study and how to prepare in such a way but also to understand what the quarterback wants you to do as a receiver.”thinks it has helped McCaffrey learn concepts and depth of routes quicker than expected, making him a more refined pro receiver than expected at this stage.
