OR para
I moved this uncited most likely OR para to talk pending sources:

McCaffrey's success has led to the modern phenomenon of comparing nearly any Caucasian wide receiver, regardless of build or style, to McCaffrey. The formulation follows an uncannily consistent pattern, with announcers or commentators intoning after a catch, "You know, [white receiver] reminds me a lot of a [slower/faster/bigger/smaller/young/old] Ed McCaffrey!" Relatedly, McCaffrey is known today as a sort of patron saint of "possession" receivers, though in fact he was a unique physical specimen possessing a combination of speed and size rare among receivers of his day.

HS basketball
I went to ACCHS and remember McCaffery as a starter in the basketball team that won the 1986 Pennsylvania state championship. His family is a basketball family - he won the state championship, his sister won the girls state championship and his brother Billy, possibly the most talented at basketball, only made it to the state championship (and lost).

As I recall, he played Tight End in high school. I think he might have been mentioned in Parade magazine as a nationally recognized recruit in that position.

I'd add these to the article, except I can't find any online references. Well, I can find that ACCHS won the state championship in 1986, but not that Ed played on it. Maybe someone with more Google-mojo than me can find the citations.
