It was also the first time in history that two athletes were featured on the Madden cover simultaneously Mut 22 coins. Madden 10 was the other cover that featured both Troy Polamalu and Larry Fitzgerald. With Madden 22 set to arrive on the horizon, we can begin to speculate on who the most likable athletes are to grace this cover for Madden 23.
As Madden 22 included an athlete on the cover which is not likely that EA would ever repeat something like this again. This cover has only seen two times before and even if they always put an athlete on each cover it takes away from the significance the cover has to offer the moment it occurs. It is also important to take into consideration that Brady and Mahomes have both been placed on the cover twice this year, it's unlikely that it will be one of them.
In looking back at previous athletes who have appeared on the cover before, it doesn't feel like a season in which we'll see a repeat athlete. There is only one player who is a repeat could be on the cover, but the rest would of them will be brand new with Madden 23.
A cover athlete is usually considered to be a representation of the previous sports season. If that is the case and the reigning winner QB of Super Bowl LVI has to be on the list. Matthew Stafford left the Detroit Lions to join the team and bring a Super Bowl to Los Angeles and he accomplished that buy Madden 22 coins. Incredibly, it only took him 1 year to do so.
