Christian McCaffrey will be the featured guest on ESPN's upcoming broadcast of Madden 25 Ratings Week, and you won't want to miss it.

San Francisco 49ers All-Pro running back Christian McCaffrey will join ESPN's coverage of Madden 25 Ratings week, which will run from July 29 through Aug. 3.

McCaffrey, of course, was named Madden's cover athlete for the upcoming year.

The week-long special will reveal players' Madden grades for the upcoming season, and one might suspect the reigning Offensive Player of the Year will be in the exclusive 99-overall club.

Joining ESPN's hosts of on-air talent, including Mina Kimes, Field Yates, Louis Riddick and Dan Orlovsky, McCaffrey will be a guest on Saturday, Aug. 3 at 3 p.m. ET, per a press release made available from ESPN to Niner Noise directly.

McCaffrey will surely be asked about his adoration of the game, as well as what it meant to be named its cover athlete, plus plenty of other juicy tidbits fans won't want to miss.
