At his last job, Ron Rivera helped develop Christian McCaffrey into a superstar.
The Carolina Panthers running back burst onto the scene under the head coach's tutelage, setting records as a rookie in 2017 before coming into his own as one of the NFL's most rare players by the end of his sophomore season.
Now in D.C., Rivera has begun coaching up the player who could become the league's next great all-around running back.
The Washington Football Team roster the coach inherited in late 2019 was bereft of any McCaffrey-like talent, so during Rivera's first draft, he convinced the team to spend a third-round pick on a prospect who could bring a new dimension to the offense.
