Bears quarterback Caleb Williams is the cover model for Madden NFL 27.
EA Sports made it official, releasing the Madden cover image, which depicts Williams throwing a jump pass, set against the Chicago skyline.
Williams’ jump-pass pose is similar to the fourth-down touchdown throw he made to Rome Odunze in the Bears’ wild card playoff win over the Packers. It’s the second year in a row that EA Sports has gone with a pose from a highlight of the previous season; last year it was Eagles running back Saquon Barkley’s spectacular backwards hurdle of a defender.
The Deluxe Edition cover shows Williams in his white road jersey with snowflakes falling around him, perhaps a nod to the “Iceman” nickname Williams would like to trademark.
