McCaffrey, who finished with 173 total yards against the Colts, then went on to explain what he meant by the right approach.
“There’s a good saying Coach Rivera used to say, ‘Be where your feet are.’ I think when everybody approaches it like that, good things happen,” McCaffrey said. “But you can never think about playoff runs or Super Bowls. You just have to control what you can at every single moment. Simplify your life and go from there. There has been so much talk about next year – we have a game left. We have meetings and practices before that. That’s what we have to focus on. The more noise that gets thrown at us from outside, it’s not helping us. It’s inevitable that’s going to happen, but we have to do a better job of controlling those noises and staying grounded and focused.”
It’s up to every man in the locker room to do their part. McCaffrey said his teammates deserve better, but everything in this league is hard-earned. That’s especially true when it feels like you’ve hit rock bottom.
But McCaffrey, still in just his third season, sounds like a guy who knows it’s his time to lead.
“I’m going to try be a leader on this team and make sure guys continue to fight and prepare,” he said. “That’s what I’m going to do. That’s what I can control.”
