EA Sports revealed on Monday that Madden 26’s cover will feature the current Offensive Player of the Year. A shot of Barkley’s reverse hurdle from his home game against the Jacksonville Jaguars the previous season was chosen by the game developers:

For the Madden cover photo, Saquon Barkley was requested to recreate the reverse hurdle using wires. A behind-the-scenes look at the stunning stunt may be seen in this video:
