Christian McCaffreyHis already impressive NFL resume continues to grow, and on Tuesday he received an off-the-field honor that most young football players can only dream of receiving.
The 49ers star running back has been officially announced as the cover athlete for the upcoming “Madden NFL 25” video game, set for release on August 18.
McCaffrey is the first 49ers player to appear on the cover of “Madden” and the first running back since Peyton Hillis, who appeared on the cover of “Madden NFL 12.”
McCaffrey celebrated the news with a post on X, formerly known as Twitter:
Buffalo Bills quarterback Josh Allen, who appeared on the cover of last year’s iteration of the game, congratulated McCaffrey on the X:
In his first full season with the 49ers, McCaffrey compiled 272 carries for 1,459 rushing yards and 14 rushing touchdowns, while recording 67 receptions for 564 receiving yards and seven aerial touchdowns on his way to earning NFL Offensive Player of the Year honors.
Now he will look to replicate his success in 2024 and help San Francisco secure its ever-elusive sixth Vince Lombardi Trophy.
