Luke McCaffrey

Commanders WR Luke McCaffrey has taken handoffs during the team’s minicamp.

Christian McCaffrey’s younger brother — taken by Washington in the third round of the 2024 draft — saw some rushing involvement during his final two seasons at Rice, getting 27 carries for 265 yards and a touchdown. Commanders beat writers noted the team has been experimental with player usage during OTAs and minicamp, so McCaffrey seeing backfield work doesn’t mean he’s going to see such usage during the regular season. He’s working to solidify himself as the team’s primary slot receiver after totaling 129 catches over two years as a wideout in college.
