20 Oct
Summary
- Four McCaffrey brothers share a multi-generational football legacy.
- Christian and Luke play in the NFL; Max is a coach.
- The brothers often praise each other and attend family events.
The McCaffrey family is building a remarkable multi-generational football legacy, with all four sons of former NFL player Ed McCaffrey deeply involved in the sport. Christian, currently with the San Francisco 49ers, and Luke, a member of the Washington Commanders, are actively playing in the league as of 2026.
Max McCaffrey, another brother, has transitioned from his playing career, which included stints with several NFL teams, to coaching. He currently serves as the running backs coach for the Los Angeles Chargers, a role he began in 2026.
Dylan McCaffrey played college football at the University of Michigan and the University of Northern Colorado, though he did not pursue a professional playing career in the NFL. He also got married in July 2026.
Beyond their athletic pursuits, the McCaffrey brothers maintain a close familial bond. They frequently express mutual admiration on social media and in interviews, and notably, Max, Luke, and Dylan were groomsmen at Christian's wedding in 2024. This strong connection extends to their shared passion for video games, particularly the NCAA Football series, where sibling rivalry often surfaces.
