Christian McCaffrey has earned many accolades during his football career, now adding the 99 Club in EA Sports’ newest football installment to the list.

The San Francisco 49ers’ running back is a part of the exclusive threshold in Madden 25, coming later this summer. Already named the cover athlete for the illustrious video game franchise, CMC becomes the first Red & Gold ballcarrier to join the 99 Club.

Already a special athlete in real life, his madden character will now reflect as such going forward.

More on 49ers RB Christian McCaffrey

Christian McCaffrey, 28, has been an offensive juggernaut since joining the 49ers midway through the 2022 season. The Colorado native has amassed nearly 4,000 scrimmage yards and 39 touchdowns (regular season and playoffs) in 33 games played in Red & Gold. He has also throw for a score as well, making him the complete package for coach Kyle Shanahan’s offense.

The player successfully negotiated a new contract for himself last week, locking him into SF through the 2027 season.

Alongside other stars, (Brock Purdy, Deebo Samuel, George Kittle etc.), CMC & Co. have produced one of the most prolific offenses in recent years. SF has shown such with their playoff success, making the NFC Championship game four years in a row. Unfortunately, the quest for Lombardi Trophy #6 ended in heartbreak last February, losing to the Kansas City Chiefs and Patrick Mahomes in overtime of Super Bowl LVIII.

While the 49ers and Christian McCaffrey remain hellbent on getting back there, for now, they celebrate this outstanding honor for their star ballcarrier.
