The stars were out on Sunday night for the Washington Commanders’ 23-20 playoff win over the Tampa Bay Buccaneers.
Two of Washington quarterback Jayden Daniels’ college teammates and the more famous older brother of rookie wide receiver Luke McCaffrey were in attendance to cheer on Washington’s rookies.
First, there was former NFL offensive player of the year and four-time All-Pro running back Christian McCaffrey of the San Francisco 49ers in town with his parents to cheer on Luke and the Commanders.
Here’s another picture of Luke with Christian and their parents, Ed and Lisa.
In town to support Daniels were New York Giants wide receiver Malik Nabers and Jacksonville Jaguars wide receiver Brian Thomas Jr. The three former LSU stars represent three of the top rookies from the loaded 2024 NFL draft class.

You won’t hear San Francisco fans say anything about McCaffrey supporting his brother. Still, it wouldn’t be a surprise if Giants’ fans were unhappy with Nabers attending a Washington game and supporting a division rival.
Ultimately, it’s no big deal. Nabers wasn’t wearing a Daniels’ jersey and was only in town to support a friend — not a team.
