Peetz, who transitioned from coaching quarterbacks to running backs, emphasized McCaffrey’s eagerness for coaching and improvement. Under Peetz’s guidance in 2019, McCaffrey achieved a historic season with over 1,000 rushing and receiving yards while significantly improving his pass protection. McCaffrey’s performance that year solidified his status as a standout player in the NFL.
