Christian McCaffrey, the two-time all-pro running back for the San Francisco 49ers, is the cover star for this year\u2019s Madden NFL 25.<\/p>\n

Madden\u2019s cover subjects have been a fun topic of conversation for more than 20 years, especially because of the alleged \u201ccover curse\u201d in which someone who fronts EA Sports\u2019 flagship game ends up injured, having a bad season, or worse.<\/p>\n

If there really was a \u201ccover curse,\u201d players in the prime of their careers, like McCaffrey wouldn\u2019t accept the honor. So both the cover announcement and its aftermath is all sort of a parlor game.<\/p>\n

McCaffrey, 28, has already gone through the fire and the flames so to speak. Drafted No. 8 by the Carolina Panthers in 2017, Carolina\u2019s disarrayed management sent him packing to the 49ers in 2022 for pocket-change compensation that year.<\/p>\n

He\u2019s gone on to superstar status in the home city of his collegiate alma mater, Stanford, leading the 49ers to conference championship appearances in each of the past two seasons, as well as a Super Bowl berth in February where the Niners were nicked in overtime by the Kansas City Chiefs and Taylor Swift\u2019s boyfriend.<\/p>\n

\u201cTo be on the cover of Madden NFL is a career achievement and an honor I share with all of my teammates, coaches and 49er Faithful who have helped make it possible,\u201d McCaffrey said in a statement. \u201cI\u2019m pumped to get back on the field this year to give Madden players more reasons to keep scoring touchdowns with me in Madden NFL 25.\u201d<\/p>\n

When does Madden NFL 25 launch?<\/strong><\/h2>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

McCaffrey\u2019s 2,023 yards from scrimmage, and 21 touchdowns in the past season both led the league. He also tied a league record by scoring touchdowns in 17 straight games. He\u00a0is widely considered as the National Football League\u2019s best runner and will likely start Madden NFL 25 rated 99 overall.<\/p>\n

Madden NFL 25 launches 16 for PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X, Windows PC, PlayStation 4, and Xbox One.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n
