Packers' McCaffrey Didn't Take the High Road to Green Bay

The opportunities have been aplenty for Packers receiver Max McCaffrey, and up to this point, he's made the most of them.

As the oldest of the McCaffrey siblings, a genetic line in which the football skills run ramped, you'd almost expect McCaffrey to seize his moment and flee with it. It's in his nature.

In 53 games at Duke, McCaffrey earned two Academic All-ACC honors en route to setting several career-highs in receiving during his senior season. Despite the name on the back of his jersey and the promise he brings, McCaffrey went undrafted.

He landed with the Raiders in 2016, only to be released a few months later and ultimately end up on the Packers' practice squad by December.
