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."
