Baltimore Ravens quarterback Lamar Jackson, the reigning NFL Most Valuable Player, announced Tuesday he's been selected as the cover athlete for the Madden NFL 21 video game.
"I'm not worried about a curse," Jackson said, referring to players who previously went on to suffer injuries or a dip in performance after appearing on the Madden cover.
The 23-year-old University of Louisville product is coming off a monster 2019 season, his second in the NFL. He completed 66.1 percent of his throws for 3,127 yards, a league-leading 36 touchdown passes and six interceptions.
