Four-time All-Pro Christian McCaffrey becomes the first running back to land on the cover of Madden since Adrian Peterson and Barry Sanders appeared on separate covers in 2013.
Three-time Pro Bowler and the 2023 NFL rushing yards leader Christian McCaffrey has added another honor to his resume. The star running back will grace the highly coveted cover of Madden NFL 25's cover. While the San Francisco 49ers running back wrapped up another stellar season in February, he still appeared to be surprised that he landed on the cover of the popular video game. 'This is a dream come true,' McCaffrey. 28, told People magazine.
McCaffrey finished the 2023 campaign with a career-best 1,459 rushing yards, 14 rushing touchdowns, and 7 receiving touchdowns. His production led to his third Pro Bowl selection. The running back was a key part of the Niners' run to Super Bowl LVIII. Despite his impressive production and accolades, McCaffrey still did not expect to be doing a photoshoot for the Madden cover. 'I never expected to be on the cover of Madden.
McCaffrey recalled playing Madden during his childhood. 'Eddie George was on the cover, and we played it on the Nintendo 64,' McCaffrey said in reference to the video game's 2001 edition. McCaffrey said he would play the video game with his brothers and would frequently select the Denver Broncos because his father, Ed McCaffrey, was a wide receiver for the franchise at the time. The eldest McCaffrey won three Super Bowls during his standout NFL career.
