Some parents may think that Ed McCaffrey has a difficult task on his hands, but he has an easy solution.
The triple champion of the Super Bowl has two sons, Christian and Luke, playing in the NFL, and another, Max, training.
No, McCaffrey was not instead, let’s say, the Kelce family, who picks between her boys in the Super Bowl… for the moment.

But, he saw two of his sons on the field at the same time – the Niners of Christian and the Dolphins of Max faced in December, and in 2026, the commanders of Luke will face San Fran.
So who did it, and is it to know?
“They are all even. I love all my children evenly, guy,” he joked in a recent interview with PK Press Club Digital. “It is a sensitive thing as a father – sometimes the teams of my children are playing. But I am going to my children.”
So yes, McCaffrey has three favorite teams. He admitted that the Broncos de Denver, where he spent nine of his 13 seasons and won two of his three Super Bowls, were excluded from the rotation, although they were his “extended family”.
“I am still rooted for broncos, but I first approve of my children,” he admitted.
McCaffrey could not make many roots for Christian, his midfielder, on the field this season. After winning the attacking player last year, CMC adapted only four games from the 2024 campaign. He missed most of the training camp and the first eight games of the season with the Achilles tendinitis. Then, in a snowy buffalo, he injured his knee.

“Yeah, the year has sucking, really,” said McCaffrey. “You have put everything you have to prepare for the season, then he was injured early in the training camp … and he did everything he could to return to the field, then as Destiny would have, he hurt her knee. “
But even if he could not encourage his son on the ground, he was certainly able to do so.
“Sometimes life does not go as planned. I am so proud of him for his resilience, his tenacity, the guy wants to be on the field more than anyone I met with all my life,” added McCaffrey.
The knee injury said McCaffrey, could also be a disguised blessing for the 2025 season.
“He will have his first complete off-season for years …”, he said, noting that Christian played in the Super Bowl last year and the NFC championship match in 2023. “Your off-season is cut a months and a half, two months when you play in a super bowl …

“It is afraid to injure yourself. It’s the worst to play the game. The time missing, sit on the touch is frustrating. But you cannot change the past, and all you can do is work hard Every day to be the best you can be. ”
