I think Fred Warner and Travis Kelce as a dual player cover would be logical.

I thinking about Kelce, I'm just not sure if he past that point as far as cover athlete. And not sure if they would want KC to have a cover 3 times in the last 5 years.

I initially thought of a multi-athlete cover since CFB is doing that. But, I'm not sure how much they want to link their ideas together. I wouldn't be opposed to it. I think Parsons might be a better defensive cover option, and that's coming from an Eagles fan lol.

If not CMC, the options aren't great if you're talking about very marketable, having great seasons, and cover-worthy. Tyreek Hill would be a great choice if it wasn't for the baggage and Jefferson would as well if he wasn't injured. Only how I would see a defender on the cover is if they wanted to showcase a new defensive mechanic.

Since a completely new physics engine is being touted…..a couple of really all time great physical players on both sides of the ball would be a smart idea.

How about

Jerome Bettis and Lawrence Taylor

Or Ronnie Lott?

As I said, I don't see a classic player route just because Madden 25 did that and part of that was because it was the 25 year anniversary. If you are going the classic player route, then I would imagine that they would go the "Barry Sanders" route. That's the "A very fun to play with in Madden" legend player.

I'd love to see them go with an edge rusher or a DL in general. I believe it's the only position group other than OL that they haven't used yet.

That said, Myles Garrett, Micah Parsons or Nick Bosa would be awesome choices. If they went with interior defenders, then you'd likely see either Aaron Donald (albeit retired) or Chris Jones there.

Another option could be a coach - I could see Demeco Ryans, Dan Campbell or Andy Reid in that regard but, like a defensive player as you stated, it'd probably have to be attached to some new mechanic like an unlikely hyper-focused emphasis on CFM upgrades.

From a more traditional standpoint, C.J. Stroud makes a lot of sense.

I really feel like they missed out on Donald, especially since he was always involved in the promotion of the game. If I were to choose, I would say Parsons just because he's one of.the more "recognizablle" edge rushers on "America's Team"

I was thinking Stroud as well. I just think it would be because they want a QB on the cover. I just want to imagine that they want to switch it up, at least for one year. I want to say Stroud might be a year early, but I think Vince Young was on cover after rookie year and OBJ probably was as well.
