Christian McCaffrey says it would be 'awesome' if Broncos selected him
INDIANAPOLIS -- Often a prospect at the NFL’s scouting combine will step into the room the Denver Broncos use for player interviews and feel a bit in awe upon seeing John Elway for the first time.
For Stanford’s Christian McCaffrey, it was a far different experience. McCaffrey’s father Ed played for the Broncos’ back-to-back Super Bowl winners to close out the 1997 and 1998 seasons, so seeing Elway was a reminder of home and days gone by spent around the Broncos.
It was the same thing when McCaffrey saw Oakland Raiders coach Jack Del Rio inside Lucas Oil Stadium. Del Rio’s son, Luke, was a quarterback for McCaffrey’s high school team when Jack Del Rio was the Broncos’ defensive coordinator.
