Lamar Jackson Says He Will be 'Madden 21' Cover Athlete

Ravens quarterback Lamar Jackson announced that he will be on the cover of EA Sports' Madden 21 video game.

No official announcement has been made by EA Sports yet.

The selection should come as no surprise since Jackson was unanimously named the NFL's Most Valuable Player in February. He was the first player in history to pass for more than 3,000 yards and rush for 1,000 yards in a single season.

"They talked to me. I should be on the cover athlete of 'Madden,'" Jackson said during a virtual press conference with reporters.
