The 29-year-old McCaffrey received the award at the annual NFL Honors event held at San Francisco's Palace of Fine Arts.
In 2025, McCaffrey started all 17 regular-season games, finishing with 311 carries for 1,202 rushing yards and 10 rushing touchdowns, while also hauling in 102 receptions for 924 yards and seven receiving touchdowns.

"This game isn't easy, and bouncing back from what I went through last year makes this award really special."
In 2023, McCaffrey was named the AP Offensive Player of the Year after leading the league in yards from scrimmage with 2,023 and totaling 21 touchdowns. His dominant season helped propel the 49ers to Super Bowl LVIII and cemented his standing as one of the league's premier dual-threat backs.
