Luke McCaffrey reveals surprise offseason mentor behind Commanders breakout
"The Commanders needed McCaffrey to step up with so many injuries to influential personnel. Second-team All-Pro Terry McLaurin and Noah Brown have both missed multiple weeks. Not exactly the best way to start the new campaign, but the 2024 third-round pick has come to the fore and raised confidence in his ability to make plays on the biggest stage. McCaffrey looks more explosive."
""He's an incredible person. It was super nice of him to help me out with that when I was in Charlotte at the time training, and he let me come to his house and watch him throw and stuff so I could get a feel.""
"The recently traded wideout emerged from an undrafted free agent to become one of the league's most accomplished route technicians from the slot. This is a role McCaffrey is also looking to carve out for himself in Washington, and"
Luke McCaffrey's second season shows clear improvement in explosiveness, route-running nuance, and ball tracking. Injuries to key receivers created opportunities that McCaffrey seized, increasing confidence in his playmaking on the biggest stages. Quarterback Jayden Daniels and offensive coordinator Kliff Kingsbury have begun trusting and targeting him in crucial situations. McCaffrey credited offseason training time with veteran Adam Thielen in Charlotte for helping refine his technique. Thielen's path from undrafted free agent to elite slot route technician offers a model McCaffrey aims to emulate while carving out a role in Washington.
