Another McCaffrey is headed to the NFL as San Francisco 49ers running back Christian McCaffrey’s younger brother Luke McCaffrey has entered the 2024 NFL Draft cycle.
The younger McCaffrey, a wide receiver out of Rice, participated in Saturday’s NFL combine drills and actually ran a faster 40-yard dash than his older brother Christian, but just barely.
Luke McCaffrey’s 4.47 time just barely eclipsed Christian McCaffrey’s 4.48 time from the 2017 NFL combine.
It’s not a huge margin in the slightest, but it’s just enough for the younger McCaffrey to earn bragging rights about who is faster between him and his brother. That counts in our book!
Looks like @mccaffrey_luke just beats out his brother @CMC_22 in the 40 👀

Both McCaffreys come from a football family, as their dad Ed McCaffrey played for the Denver Broncos for more than a decade, their brother Max McCaffrey is an NFL veteran and brother Dylan McCaffrey was a quarterback at Northern Colorado.
Now, the youngest McCaffrey will get to take hold of a family record at the combine, which has to be exciting for the Rice product.
