Pro football blood runs through the veins of the McCaffrey family. Ed is a former wide receiver and three-time Super Bowl champion, while his sons Christian and Max also made the jump to the NFL: the former is a star running back for the San Francisco 49ers, the latter bounced around the league and is currently an offensive assistant for the Miami Dolphins.
Will draft hopeful Luke McCaffrey follow those footsteps and keep the family tradition alive? He will get an opportunity, that much seems relatively certain. And given the New England Patriots’ need to upgrade their offensive arsenal, that chance might just be coming from them.
