After such a splendid outing in the NFL last year, it is no surprise that Super Bowl LIV MVP Patrick Mahomes is the first member of the Madden 21 99 Club. The Kansas City Chiefs quarterback led his side to a memorable championship win in 2019. They fought back from a 20-10 deficit in the fourth quarter, to beat the 49ers by a 31-20 scoreline in Miami last year. The Texas-born athlete was handed a mammoth 10-year contract extension last week. As per reports, the reigning Super Bowl MVP stands to earn more than $500 million over the course of his contract that runs till 2031. What a year it’s turning out to be for the man in Missouri! PATRICK MAHOMES BECOMES THE FIRST PLAYER TO MAKE THE #99CLUB IN MADDEN 21 NFL players tend to take their EA Sports NFL Madden ratings quite seriously. Hence, making the 99 club is considered to be a special honor amongst players in the league. Patrick Mahomes did not make the cut last year, despite winning the NFL MVP award in 2018. So, it was only fair to include him this time out after a path-breaking season with the Chiefs. There were three other players who made the 99 club this year. Carolina Panthers running back Christian McCaffrey, Los Angeles Rams defensive tackle Aaron Donald and finally, New England Patriots cornerback Stephon Gilmore. Donald is the only player to make the cut from last year’s list. In fact, the Rams’ defensive star has earned this honor for four consecutive years now. Not bad, eh?

There were three players who made the list last year but missed out by inches this time around.

<h2 style="text-align: center"><b>Who is Christian McCaffrey?</b></h2>
Christian Jackson McCaffrey, an NFL running back, currently plays for the<a href="https://www.essentiallysports.com/category/nfl/san-francisco-49ers/"> San Francisco 49ers</a>. His football journey began at Stanford University, where he reached the Heisman trophy final during his sophomore year. There he earned recognition as the AP College Football Player of the Year.

Drafted by the <a href="https://www.essentiallysports.com/category/nfl/carolina-panthers/">Carolina Panthers</a> with the eighth pick in the 2017 NFL Draft, McCaffrey showcased his skills, particularly flourishing in his second year. Despite facing injuries in 2020 and 2021, he continued to contribute significantly. In 2022, after playing six games with the Panthers, he was traded to the San Francisco 49ers, making impactful contributions as a runner.

[caption id="attachment_1141168" align="aligncenter" width="1320"]<img class="size-full wp-image-1141168" src="https://image-cdn.essentiallysports.com/wp-content/uploads/Christian-McCaffrey.jpeg" alt="Christian McCaffrey" width="1320" height="743" /> Diving into Real Estate: Mahomes Makes Moves with $450M, While McCaffrey Takes Tactical Financial Routes[/caption]

McCaffrey played a crucial role in the 49ers' journey to the NFC Championship game in 2022, demonstrating his versatility. In 2023, he had a spectacular year, achieving career-high rushing yards, second-most touchdowns, and second-most receptions. Despite his stellar performance, the team's Super Bowl aspirations faced setbacks due to key injuries to their quarterbacks.
<h2 id="christian-mccaffrey-0" dir="ltr" style="text-align: center"><b>Christian McCaffrey's early life and background</b></h2>
Christian McCaffrey, born on June 7, 1996, hails from Castle Rock, Colorado. His high school days at Valor Christian were nothing short of impressive, playing various positions like running back, wide receiver, cornerback, and even punter. The records he set in high school football earned him the Gatorade Football Player of the Year title for two consecutive years. Not just limited to football, McCaffrey showcased his skills in basketball and track and field, earning a four-star recruit rating from Rivals.com.

In 2014, he took his talents to Stanford University, where his sophomore year propelled him to Heisman Trophy finalist status and the AP College Football Player of the Year award. Opting to skip his senior year, McCaffrey declared for the NFL Draft after a standout junior season.

Sports excellence runs deep in the McCaffrey family. His father, Ed McCaffrey, made a name as an effective wide receiver in the 90s and early 2000s. He has achieved the feat of winning three Super Bowls. One with the 49ers and two with the <a href="https://www.essentiallysports.com/category/nfl/denver-broncos/">Denver Broncos</a>. Christian's sporting lineage extends further with an uncle who played basketball at Duke and an aunt who played at Georgetown. His mother, Lisa Sime, a soccer player at Stanford, is the daughter of Olympic sprinter Dave Sime.

Christian's three brothers also share the family's love for football. The oldest, Max, had a stint as a wide receiver with the Oakland Raiders before transitioning to coaching. Dylan, the second brother, plays quarterback for the University of Northern Colorado, where Max later became the offensive coordinator. The youngest, Luke, follows suit as a wide receiver for the Rice Owls at Rice University.
<h2 id="christian-mccaffrey-2" dir="ltr" style="text-align: center">Christian McCaffreyâ€™s girlfriend</h2>
Christian McCaffrey and <a href="https://www.essentiallysports.com/nfl-news-who-is-nfl-star-christian-mccaffreys-fiancee-who-is-former-miss-universe/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Olivia Culpo have been inseparable since 2020</a>, and their love story reached a new milestone in April 2023 when McCaffrey proposed, making their relationship official. Olivia Culpo, a multi-talented personality born in 1992 in Rhode Island, gained fame as the winner of Miss Universe in 2012.

<img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-1560634" src="https://image-cdn.essentiallysports.com/wp-content/uploads/imago0153853423h.jpg" alt="" />

Before that, she held the titles of Miss Rhode Island and Miss USA. Beyond her pageantry success, Culpo is a renowned fashion model, social media influencer, and actress. Christian McCaffrey and Olivia Culpo got engaged on April 2, 2023.
<h2 id="christian-mccaffrey-1" dir="ltr" style="text-align: center"><b>Christian McCaffrey's net worth in 2024</b></h2>
Christian McCaffreyâ€™s current <a href="https://www.spotrac.com/nfl/san-francisco-49ers/christian-mccaffrey-21749/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">net worth stands at around $30 million</a>. He entered the league with the Carolina Panthers who signed him to a four-year deal worth $17.2 million. Following that, he signed a four-year extension in April 2020 due to end in 2025, and is worth $64 million.

But in 2022, he was traded to San Francisco in exchange for the teamâ€™s second, third, and fourth-round picks in 2023 and a fifth-round pick in 2024. His deal was renegotiated in the 2023 season so San Francisco could make salary-cap space to sign each of their nine draft picks. McCaffrey is signed to the 49ers through the 2025 season with scheduled salaries of $11.8 million in 2024 and $12 million in 2025. Two additional â€œvoidâ€ years were added to allow for more flexibility on the salary cap.

Christian McCaffrey has f<a href="https://zacjohnson.com/christian-mccaffrey-net-worth/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">orged lucrative partnerships with renowned brands</a> like Nike, Bose, Loweâ€™s, Pepsi, Nerf, and USAA, underscoring the trust and respect he commands in the industry.

Beyond his football and endorsement earnings, McCaffrey has demonstrated shrewd business acumen through strategic investments. His angel investments in companies like Pair Eyewear and Hyperice reflect a keen eye for promising ventures with substantial growth potential.
<h2 style="text-align: center"><b>Christian McCaffrey contracts</b></h2>
While first being drafted by the Carolina Panthers in 2017, Christian McCaffrey attained massive success. He helped him sign a 4-year extension contract worth $64,063,500. This included a 21.5 million dollar signing bonus, $38,162,500 guaranteed, and noticed him become the highest-paid running back in the history of the NFL.

Since the Panthers traded McCaffrey to the 49ers, they had to account for the million-dollar contract. Thus, the remainder of the signing bonus accelerated onto McCaffrey's cap, which was about five times the star running back's cap hit at San Francisco. This worked in favor of the 49ers who gave McCaffrey another home in 2022 and had to draw up a common restructuring in the contract. In 2023, McCaffrey was set to have an annual salary of $16 million.

Now, per reports, McCaffrey has a base salary of $11.8 million in 2024 and $12 million in 2025 as a result of no pay cut for McCaffrey, and the 49ers had 1.4% of their salary cap used on the player. A mutually beneficial coalition. His contract with the 49ers is until 2025. Currently, as an MVP finalist, McCaffrey has a cap hit of just $3.424 million, and it ranks 18th among running backs for the 2023 season, according to Spotrac.
<h2 id="christian-mccaffrey-1" dir="ltr" style="text-align: center"><b>Christian McCaffrey's career timeline</b></h2>
<p dir="ltr">Christian McCaffrey was part of the 2017 NFL Draft. Before the draft, many analysts and experts saw him going early in the first round. Eventually, with the 8th pick overall, the Carolina Panthers selected Christian McCaffrey in the first round.</p>
Christian McCaffrey's NFL journey began with the Panthers, who selected him in the 2017 NFL Draft. In his rookie season, he showed versatility by excelling as a receiver with 651 receiving yards and 5 touchdowns, outshining his rushing performance of 435 yards and 2 touchdowns. However, his second and third seasons marked his peak, surpassing 1,000 yards both in rushing and receiving. Despite this success, subsequent years were plagued by injuries, limiting his playing time. In 2022, a third into the season, he was traded to the 49ers in exchange for draft picks in 2023 and 2024.

While McCaffrey's tenure with the San Francisco 49ers is relatively short, he made a significant impact in the 11 regular-season games he played. With a full 16-game season, he had the potential for one of his best years. The 49ers had a deep playoff run, reaching the conference championship but ultimately losing to the P<a href="https://www.essentiallysports.com/category/nfl/philadelphia-eagles/">hiladelphia Eagles</a>. McCaffrey contributed decently, accumulating 238 yards in three playoff games.

This season, as mentioned before, he's been at his best. He's even a frontrunner in the NFL MVP race. If he does win the title against the <a href="https://www.essentiallysports.com/category/nfl/kansas-city-chiefs-nfl/">Kansas City Chiefs</a> after claiming the Super Bowl LVIII, he will be the first non-QB to win the title since 2012.
<h2 style="text-align: center">Christian McCaffrey's c<b>areer stats and records</b></h2>
While his sophomore year at Stanford saw him narrowly miss out on the Heisman Trophy, Christian McCaffrey has etched his name in the annals of football with several memorable performances. Beyond individual accolades, his impact on the field has been noteworthy, showcasing his talent, dedication, and contribution to the teams he has played for.

<h2 style="text-align: center"><b>Expensive things owned by Christian McCaffrey</b></h2>
Christian McCaffrey does not shy away from putting his millions to perfect use and buying luxurious items for himself. Beginning from his house, CMC owns a beautiful and modern-styled home in the San Francisco Bay area. The grand front room is equipped with a fireplace and an unexpected chandelier. Unsurprisingly, he also has a special game room with unique decorations on the walls of the room. His other rooms in the house, including the dining room and the kitchen follow a similar sleek style and modern furniture structure.

Even though no official information has been given out, the location of the house is a pretty clear indication that the price of it would range easily over a million dollars. However, the running back still owns his French-chateau style home back in North Carolina, from when he used to play for the Panthers. It was worth $7.5 million when the player bought it. And <a href="https://www.essentiallysports.com/nfl-active-news-in-pictures-inside-christian-mccaffreys-luxurious-mansion-worth-twelve-point-five-million-dollars-currently-up-for-sale-in-north-carolina/">now, it stands at $12.5 million.</a> The front of the place is designed with big arches and a huge door. The house boasts tall ceilings reaching around 25 feet, with huge windows and a steel stairway reaching the upstairs master suite.

The palace-like structure also has a pool, a hot tub, and a lake in the backside. The house is much more spacious than his new home, hosting a big living room, a huge fireplace, and even 2 large islands in his kitchen. He has his own office and multiple bedrooms on the upper floor. The basement has a relaxing place along with his at-home gym, with top-notch equipment.

The basement further opens into the garage that has his Chevrolet Corvette in it. Another condo that he used to own in Carolina was worth $3.75 million, which he sold just last year. McCaffrey also spends an astonishing amount on his car collection starting with his Ashen Martin DB11 for $200,000.

Other than one of the best sports cars on the market, the RB also owns a Chevrolet Corvette Stingray for $100,000 coming in with a gray finish. Adding an electric vehicle to the mix, he purchased a Lucid Air Sapphire for $220,000. Further, he also bought a Mercedes-Benz g350 with a G wagon running him $150,000. These are just some of his collections, other than daily driving cars and trucks.

In 2014, he took his talents to Stanford University, where his sophomore year propelled him to Heisman Trophy finalist status and the AP College Football Player of the Year award. Opting to skip his senior year, McCaffrey declared for the NFL Draft after a standout junior season. Sports excellence runs deep in the McCaffrey family. His father, Ed McCaffrey, made a name as an effective wide receiver in the 90s and early 2000s. He has achieved the feat of winning three Super Bowls. One with the 49ers and two with the Denver Broncos. Christian&#8217;s sporting lineage extends further with an uncle who played basketball at Duke and an aunt who played at Georgetown. His mother, Lisa Sime, a soccer player at Stanford, is the daughter of Olympic sprinter Dave Sime. Christian&#8217;s three brothers also share the family&#8217;s love for football. The oldest, Max, had a stint as a wide receiver with the Oakland Raiders before transitioning to coaching. Dylan, the second brother, plays quarterback for the University of Northern Colorado, where Max later became the offensive coordinator. The youngest, Luke, follows suit as a wide receiver for the Rice Owls at Rice University. Christian McCaffreyâ€™s girlfriend Christian McCaffrey and Olivia Culpo have been inseparable since 2020, and their love story reached a new milestone in April 2023 when McCaffrey proposed, making their relationship official. Olivia Culpo, a multi-talented personality born in 1992 in Rhode Island, gained fame as the winner of Miss Universe in 2012. Before that, she held the titles of Miss Rhode Island and Miss USA. Beyond her pageantry success, Culpo is a renowned fashion model, social media influencer, and actress. Christian McCaffrey and Olivia Culpo got engaged on April 2, 2023. Christian McCaffrey&#8217;s net worth in 2024 Christian McCaffreyâ€™s current net worth stands at around $30 million. He entered the league with the Carolina Panthers who signed him to a four-year deal worth $17.2 million. Following that, he signed a four-year extension in April 2020 due to end in 2025, and is worth $64 million. But in 2022, he was traded to San Francisco in exchange for the teamâ€™s second, third, and fourth-round picks in 2023 and a fifth-round pick in 2024. His deal was renegotiated in the 2023 season so San Francisco could make salary-cap space to sign each of their nine draft picks. McCaffrey is signed to the 49ers through the 2025 season with scheduled salaries of $11.8 million in 2024 and $12 million in 2025. Two additional â€œvoidâ€ years were added to allow for more flexibility on the salary cap. Christian McCaffrey has forged lucrative partnerships with renowned brands like Nike, Bose, Loweâ€™s, Pepsi, Nerf, and USAA, underscoring the trust and respect he commands in the industry. Beyond his football and endorsement earnings, McCaffrey has demonstrated shrewd business acumen through strategic investments. His angel investments in companies like Pair Eyewear and Hyperice reflect a keen eye for promising ventures with substantial growth potential. Christian McCaffrey contracts While first being drafted by the Carolina Panthers in 2017, Christian McCaffrey attained massive success. He helped him sign a 4-year extension contract worth $64,063,500. This included a 21.5 million dollar signing bonus, $38,162,500 guaranteed, and noticed him become the highest-paid running back in the history of the NFL. Since the Panthers traded McCaffrey to the 49ers, they had to account for the million-dollar contract. Thus, the remainder of the signing bonus accelerated onto McCaffrey&#8217;s cap, which was about five times the star running back&#8217;s cap hit at San Francisco. This worked in favor of the 49ers who gave McCaffrey another home in 2022 and had to draw up a common restructuring in the contract. In 2023, McCaffrey was set to have an annual salary of $16 million. Now, per reports, McCaffrey has a base salary of $11.8 million in 2024 and $12 million in 2025 as a result of no pay cut for McCaffrey, and the 49ers had 1.4% of their salary cap used on the player. A mutually beneficial coalition. His contract with the 49ers is until 2025. Currently, as an MVP finalist, McCaffrey has a cap hit of just $3.424 million, and it ranks 18th among running backs for the 2023 season, according to Spotrac. Christian McCaffrey&#8217;s career timeline Christian McCaffrey was part of the 2017 NFL Draft. Before the draft, many analysts and experts saw him going early in the first round. Eventually, with the 8th pick overall, the Carolina Panthers selected Christian McCaffrey in the first round. Christian McCaffrey&#8217;s NFL journey began with the Panthers, who selected him in the 2017 NFL Draft. In his rookie season, he showed versatility by excelling as a receiver with 651 receiving yards and 5 touchdowns, outshining his rushing performance of 435 yards and 2 touchdowns. However, his second and third seasons marked his peak, surpassing 1,000 yards both in rushing and receiving. Despite this success, subsequent years were plagued by injuries, limiting his playing time. In 2022, a third into the season, he was traded to the 49ers in exchange for draft picks in 2023 and 2024.

With a full 16-game season, he had the potential for one of his best years. The 49ers had a deep playoff run, reaching the conference championship but ultimately losing to the Philadelphia Eagles. McCaffrey contributed decently, accumulating 238 yards in three playoff games. This season, as mentioned before, he&#8217;s been at his best. He&#8217;s even a frontrunner in the NFL MVP race.

His other rooms in the house, including the dining room and the kitchen follow a similar sleek style and modern furniture structure. Even though no official information has been given out, the location of the house is a pretty clear indication that the price of it would range easily over a million dollars. However, the running back still owns his French-chateau style home back in North Carolina, from when he used to play for the Panthers. It was worth $7.5 million when the player bought it. And now, it stands at $12.5 million. The front of the place is designed with big arches and a huge door.
