Luke McCaffrey could be the Commanders surprise almost nobody expected

Luke McCaffrey took time to get going as a rookie, which wasn't surprising. Even so, there's a growing belief that the Washington Commanders' wide receiver could become a legitimate breakout candidate this time around.

The Commanders saw enough in McCaffrey's ceiling to take the wideout at No. 100 overall in the 2024 NFL Draft. Nobody was expecting miracles right away, which proved to be the case as the coaching staff brought the player with rich sporting bloodlines along gradually.

McCaffrey got plenty of game-time experience in a competitive setting, but targets were in short supply.
