Caitlin has made waves in women’s sports, and reached a record-breaking score of 3,951 points as she wrapped up her college season.

“It’s a way in,” he told the Des Moines Register in 2023, expressing interest in becoming a coach someday like his father. “It’s an entry-level job. You’ve got to work hard and work your way up. That’s obviously what I want to do.”

A fan on X asked for McCaffrey’s honest reaction to the look, to which he replied, “😲🫢🤤.”
