Even amid the tumultuous events of Euphoria Season 2, it’s difficult not to notice that a prominent character from Season 1 was virtually absent. Football star Chris McKay (played by Algee Smith) had been a leading man in HBO’s teen drama. But he was hardly featured in the second season, leaving fans to wonder why his role was reduced so drastically.McKay was introduced in Euphoria’s 2019 series premiere as the boyfriend of Cassie Howard. Although he’d already graduated from East Highland, the school where Euphoria takes place, McKay still regularly hung out with his high school friends. And despite being one of the nicer guys in the series, McKay was best friends with the twisted Nate Jacobs. McKay’s life took a sharp turn in the first season that changed everything.McKay’s father trained him to become a great football player from a young age. That’s likely why he became the star of his high school team. However, there’s no denying the pressure negatively affected him. His entire identity was built on how well he performed and his star-player status. But McKay was no longer in high school — and his college teammates were better. He soon realized he had little chance of making it to the pro level, which pushed McKay into an identity crisis.
