Lamar Jackson couldn’t believe it when he got the call that EA Sports wanted him to be on the cover of Madden NFL 21.
“Ahh man! It’s another one I can put in the man cave. When I get my own copy of it, I am going to sign it myself and put it up. That’s how dedicated I am [laughs],” Jackson told SI in an interview over the phone in May. “I grew up playing Madden and owned every copy I could get my hands on, so to be on the cover of Madden NFL 21 is a dream come true.
