Of all the stylish weddings to be had in June, few, if any, outshone the nuptials between San Francisco 49ers star running back Christian McCaffrey and Sports Illustrated Swimsuit model Olivia Culpo.
It was held in her native Rhode Island on the New England coast, and there were stars galore at the seaside resort.
One of the esteemed guests was current FOX Sports lead NFL analyst Greg Olsen, who has a future with the network that is clearly up in the air.
But football was hardly the main event at the weekend ceremony.
NFL insider Michael Rimmer revealed that Olson was spotted along with a congregation of current or former Carolina Panthers at McCaffrey’s wedding.
The career trajectories of McCaffrey and Olsen are fascinating in their differences.
Olsen was recently honored with an Emmy for best NFL analyst, even as he prepares to lose his top job to Tom Brady this fall.
He has also indicated that he intends to remain the number one analyst at whichever network employs him.
On the other hand, McCaffrey is widely considered to be the top running back in the NFL, and he recently signed a new contract with the 49ers, reflecting that reality.
Last month, 2023’s leading NFL ground gainer agreed to a record-setting two-year extension worth $38 million, effectively resetting the running back market in the league.
This came even as the position has been widely devalued by clubs who prefer to rush the ball by committee.
But all of that was put aside for a glorious wedding over the weekend.
