The cover athlete for the 2021 Madden NFL Football video game has been revealed.

Baltimore Ravens quarterback Lamar Jackson announced on Tuesday that he will be on the cover of Madden 21. The second-year NFL quarterback was named the Most Valuable Player in 2019 and was a Pro Bowl selection.

Jackson had an unbelievable season for the Ravens in 2019, throwing for 3,127 yards and rushing for an additional 1,206 more. He accounted for 43 total touchdowns during the regular season, and led Baltimore to a 14-2 record.

After starting in seven games for the Ravens last season, Jackson locked down the permanent starting job for the franchise in 2019 and quickly became one of the most dynamic players in the NFL. In just two short seasons at the NFL level, he’s developed into one of the premier quarterbacks and talents in the league.

Jackson, who played college football at Louisville and won a Heisman Trophy, is just 23. He was the 32nd pick in the 2018 NFL Draft.
