Staring down the actual Declaration of Independence before stepping into the octagon as an underdog to beat the piss out of an undefeated fighter in front of the world is an extraordinary level of legendary
Eddie Jackson’s pick-6 against the Vikings in 2018 was so much fun
It was a crucial win for the #Bears to get some breathing room in the NFC North. With EJax having an All-Pro year, I was so excited with this INT lol
It’s really not difficult to grasp:
1) If the sole criteria for choosing the Madden cover athlete was accolades, Pat Mahomes would have been on the cover every year since 2018.
2) Traditionally, the Madden cover was a stock image of the chosen player, nothing more. However, last year EA Sports changed things up by reenacting a viral moment from the 2024 season: Saquon Barkley’s backwards jump over the defender.
People loved it. For the first time, the Madden cover didn’t just feature a player standing in his jersey, but instead it showcased a recognizable, in-game moment that went viral. Now it appears that EA Sports wants to keep doing that, and no moment was more viral than Caleb Williams’ iconic 4th-and-8 heave with the Jumpman look.
That’s why Caleb is the Madden 27 cover player. It’s smart marketing, and he also deserves it after a stellar season that heralded what looks to be a promising career.
