Not only was Christian McCaffrey the 2023 Offensive Player of the Year, but he also landed on the cover of the hit video game, Madden 25. If that's not enough, he made a cameo appearance with country music superstar Zach Bryan, playing the piano.

Best fan moment of the year
Christian McCaffrey has no shortage of highlights, but perhaps the most memorable one from 2024 was when he pushed into the end zone to tie things up in the NFC Championship game against the Detroit Lions, putting his stamp on the comeback from a 24-7 deficit. Levi's Stadium was, perhaps, never louder than at that particular moment.
What we’ll remember about this fandom a decade from now
McCaffrey rightfully earned both the Offensive Player of the Year award and a spot as the featured player on the cover of EA Sports' Madden series, although the “Madden Curse“ proved to be real when the All-Pro missed the first half of 2024 because of Achilles issues. Fans will remember that, but it only serves to highlight McCaffrey's importance to San Francisco.
