It's more of a long shot than some of the other picks on this list, granted, but Tom Brady is still arguably the best quarterback to ever play the game. Yes, there's no guarantee (yet) that he'll even be on the New England Patriots next year. For any other player, this would almost categorically remove them from consideration for the Madden cover. Yes, the Titans' defense made him look like a scared child. It'd be a huge surprise if anyone other than Lamar Jackson is on the cover. The Baltimore Ravens' offense is dynamic and aggressive, full of unpredictable play calls that take advantage of both Jackson's quickness and arm strength. Perhaps most impressively, he silenced the critics that said he was a gimmick quarterback using his legs to mask a lack of arm strength and accuracy.Īll that is well and good, but numbers alone aren't enough to put an athlete on the cover of Madden. The stunning thing about Lamar Jackson, and what I believe solidifies his status as the frontrunner above all, is that he's just fun to watch. Jackson shattered records in 2019, setting the single-season record for QB rushing yards (and rushing touchdowns), while also becoming the first quarterback to throw for over 3,000 yards and run for 1,000 in a season. Sure, he flamed out spectacularly in the postseason after getting shellacked by the Tennessee Titans, but overall, he was, without question, the best player in the league this year. Lamar Jackson is the safest bet for the Madden 21 cover athlete. So why not start with the unanimous regular-season MVP?
