This list is based on who made some of the key plays of last season, what players made last season as special as what it was. Now there will be no cover athlete who has already been on the cover before, I will give my honest opinion and thoughts on why each player should be on the cover of Madden 23 in no particular order.
- Cooper Kupp
With Cooper Kupp having possibly one of the best seasons for a wide receiver last season Kupp had to be on the list, Cooper is the only wide receiver in NFL history to have the triple crown {most receiving yards, touchdowns and catches} in one singular season and to go on top of that be one of the few wideouts to win superbowl mvp.
- Joe Burrow
Joe Burrow is seen around the league as a top rising star after taking the Cincinnati Bengals to the superbowl last season, Burrow was also in the top 3 for regular season MVP honors finishing behind Aaron Rodgers and Tom Brady. Since the start of the season Burrow has been all around social media for his outfits with some nicknames being attached now as “Joe Shiesty, Joey B and Joe Burrrr” not only the fans love him but he’s backed his name up on the field with his incredible gameplay.
- Aaron Donald
Aaron Donald made potentially two of the biggest plays last season in the superbowl, Donald now has a ring and some are calling him a top 2-3 defensive player of all time in the NFL and that’s highly true. Aaron Donald has had one of the best careers for a defensive player making all pro and pro bowl honors since the day he was drafted almost a decade ago, Donald has also been the top defensive player in the league and an overall top 3 player for the last near decade ranking above most quarterbacks not named Tom Brady. Most fans have been asking for a defensive player to make the Madden Cover for a while now and Donald should be that guy, not to say as the last defensive player to be on the cover of Madden was Richard Sherman in 2015.
