But he has seen two of his sons on the field at the same time – Christian’s Niners and Max’s dolphins faced in December, and by 2026 Luke’s commanders will go up towards San Fran.
So who did it and will he root for?
“They’re all equal. I love all my kids evenly, man,” he said in a recent interview with Pakinomist Digital. “It’s a sensitive thing that Dad – occasionally my children’s teams play each other. But I root for my children.”

“Sometimes life doesn’t go as planned. I’m so proud of him for his resilience, his toughness, the guy will be on the field more than anyone I’ve met throughout my life,” added McCaffrey.
The knee injury, said McCaffrey, could also be a blessing in disguise in the 2025 season.
“He wants his first full season of the years …” he said, noting that Christian played in the Super Bowl last year and the NFC Championship game in 2023. “Your offseason will be cut one and a half months, two months when you play In a Super Bowl …
