Lamar Jackson is Madden 21 Cover Athlete and Do You Believe Cover Curse

The first details of the Madden 21 game have arrived, which is what many people expect. Lamar Jackson of the Baltimore Ravens will be Madden 21's cover athlete after the NFL MVP campaign last season. Now, he will continue to work hard, hoping to start from last year's cover star to avoid that Madden curse.

Who will be on the Madden 21 cover?

In our Madden 21 cover predictions, we fully believed Lamar Jackson was the no-brainer choice. On Tuesday (April 21), the big news was confirmed by Lamar Jackson on a Q&A session.

Jackson said he's not worried about the curse because of what Mahomes did. The interviewer then made sure to ask, "You are the cover of Madden 21?" and Jackson confirmed that yes, he would be.

Fans have already started publishing their simulated Madden 21 cover concept online, including the following. We think this is a great choice for illustrations on the front of the game, but EA may already have other ideas.

As for the release date of Madden 21, we hope that its release time will be similar to the recent versions. Madden 20 came out on August 2, 2019, and the release date of Madden 19 is August 10, 2018. The title of Madden 18 arrived on August 22, 2017. Therefore, this provides a three-week timetable for the possible Madden 21 release date. We have compiled the Madden 21 wish list before, which can be viewed here.

For NFL stars, getting on the front and center of EA's Madden video game is a dream come true. However, over the years, as some players became unlucky victims after obtaining cover, there has also been a disturbing trend. So what is Madden's curse? Let's take a look at some cover athlete victims in game history.

What is the Madden Cover Curse?

That's when some believe trouble started with the Madden cover curse. It seemed that certain athletes fell victim to injury or had poor performances in their next seasons after appearing on the cover. Cursed cover athlete victims include Michael and Rob Gronkowski.

Some people believe in the cover superstitions. Others believe that cover athletes performed well last season and may result in poor performance next season. Injuries are also part of the game because football involves many heavyweight fighters. Therefore, it is considered a bad opinion that cover athletes are immune to them.

New Cover Athlete Trend Seems Promising

Madden 20 cover athlete Patrick Mahomes may break the curse of the Madden cover.

The NFL season is currently a question mark. However, Lamar Jackson has informed everyone that he has the cover of Madden 21. He also believed that he would follow in the footsteps of Mahomes. Jackson now hopes to continue this positive trend by minimizing injuries and adding a "Super Bowl" ring to his resume.
