Reigning NFL MVP Lamar Jackson held a Zoom call with media on Tuesday and told the world that EA Sports is planning to put him on the cover of Madden 21.
Lamar Jackson accidentally leaked that he’s the ‘Madden 21’ cover athlete

These are weird times, but that doesn’t change the fact this simply isn’t how Madden cover athletes are announced. Normally the whole thing is a big to-do, with a media blitz, a count down, speculation — the whole nine yards.

Welp.
