THE BIGGEST MISTAKES PARENTS MAKE WHEN THEIR KIDS PLAY TEAM SPORTS
Ed McCaffrey
Ed McCaffrey, Christian’s father, was also an NFL player.
After playing football at Stanford, he was drafted by the New York Giants in 1991, winning three Super Bowls during his time in the league.
During Ed’s 13 years as part of the NFL, he also played for the San Francisco 49ers and the Denver Broncos.

Christian spoke about his experience following in his father’s footsteps in a 2023 interview with NBC Sports.
“Growing up, I was Ed’s kid, we were always Ed’s sons. And so, in a way, that was an advantage for us, because we got to experience a little bit of that already,” he told the outlet in 2023. “I think myself and three of my brothers, we all kind of wanted to branch off and create our own name.”

Ed married his wife, Lisa, on April 4, 1992, after just a few months of dating, according to the Chicago Tribune.
Lisa McCaffrey
Lisa McCaffrey was also a talented athlete, as a player on the soccer team at Stanford.
Now, she serves as co-host of a podcast called “Your Mom” with Ashley Adamson.
Even though all four of Lisa’s children have pursued sports, she has spoken about the importance of her children being involved in whatever they love to do.
“Who knows if they are going to be talented or not,” she told the Denver Post in 2015. “But I want them to be involved in what they love. If that’s books or music, that’s a good thing, too.”
Max McCaffrey
The oldest of the McCaffrey siblings is Max.
