EA Sports has made its decision, the reigning NFL MVP is set to grace the cover of Madden NFL 21.
Lamar Jackson announced the news during a recent interview that was shared by the Baltimore Ravens on Tuesday.
Jackson will be taking over for Pat Mahomes, who was featured on the cover of Madden NFL 20.
Last season, Jackson passed for 3,127 yards and 36 touchdowns while rushing for another 1,206 yards and six touchdowns and leading the Ravens to the No. 1 overall seed in the AFC.
