Christian McCaffrey Clapped Back at ESPN Reporter Over Teddy Bridgewater Support

For Carolina Panthers superstar Christian McCaffrey, it’s the offseason. That means he has press obligations, mostly related to promoting products he endorses. Today he had 8 different interviews, and one of them left a bad taste in the mouth of an ESPN reporter. McCaffrey was on First Take, and was asked about Teddy Bridgewater, and how he’s not getting the nod to be a starter heading towards next season.

Following the interview, ESPN reporter David Newton tweeted this out:

CMC caught wind of his tweet and responded:

You have to love Christian’s response.

Here’s another interview Christian did to prove his point:

McCaffrey is way too smart to take the bait.  He’s obviously a team player, and seems like the kind of guy who will respect any QB he plays with.

Nice try fellas.
