Dan Quinn just proved Commanders fans were right about Luke McCaffrey

"I felt the experience of the route running and all the technique that goes with that first. Coming in from him with his background at quarterback, almost seeing too much, but then he really got into the details at receiver, at the technique, at the specific routes. But there's one thing that separates him. I think that he has -- and he can feel it"

"McCaffrey's gone from an afterthought to a potential long-term piece of the puzzle. The Commanders had no other choice, but the response given by the wideout told them everything they needed to know about his future outlook. Even when McLaurin and Brown return, the former Rice standout should have a role to play after gaining the trust of coaches and teammates alike."

Washington has succeeded despite missing primary receivers Terry McLaurin and Noah Brown because multiple factors have aligned, most notably the emergence of second-year receiver Luke McCaffrey. McCaffrey scored touchdowns against the Raiders and Falcons and made a critical downfield play for quarterback Jayden Daniels against the Chargers. Head coach Dan Quinn praised McCaffrey's improved route running, attention to receiver technique, and standout competitive fire. The wideout evolved from an afterthought to a potential long-term contributor. Even after McLaurin and Brown return, McCaffrey is expected to retain a role after earning coaches' and teammates' trust.
