Madden NFL 2027 Covers
As one can see, he put in work and now he is being rewarded with some video game glory recognition. However, if the standard Madden cover looks a little “plain” to you; well it was on purpose. QB Caleb Williams told the Kelce brothers via the New Heights podcast that he wanted to recreate the iconic Michael Jordan image with the Chicago skyline and bring it to the Madden cover using his jump throw.
What throw is Williams’ referring to here? Caleb’s jumpman pass, best remembered by the 4th/8 throw to Rome Odunze in the playoffs, is the cover of the Standard Edition. Furthermore, as for the Deluxe Edition, the cover is a play off of a nickname that Williams has gained from his teammates and broadcast announcers. The “Iceman” appears on the second cover in an icy environment as snow falls all around him. Very cinematic.
Nonetheless, there are some other interesting tidbits to know about this latest Madden cover reveal. Chicago quarterback Caleb Williams will have a 90 overall rating in Madden 27. It’s the highest rating by a Bears quarterback in Madden history. Caleb also has goals when it comes to the Madden game.
