Madden 22 Cover Athlete Predictions: 4 Players Who Could Be Cover Star

Madden 21 featured Lamar Jackson, but we're expecting a new face for Madden 22. Based on the NFL season so far, We think one of those stars is very likely to be the next Madden 22 cover athlete.

Aaron Rodgers

Aaron Rodgers has been simply sensational this season. He ended the regular season throwing for 4,299 yards, 48 touchdowns, and five interceptions. He ranks seventh in passing yards, first in touchdowns, and first in QBR (84.4). Rodgers is simply playing lights out football. He did all of this while leading his team to a 13-3 record and securing the coveted home-field advantage, meaning the NFC Champion will have to pass through Lambeau Field. The season Rodgers has put together could be one of his best. His 121.5 passer rating this season is the second-highest in his career. Rodgers has a 70.7% completion percentage, second-best of his career. Even at age 37, Rodgers is still posting career-leading numbers.

Derrick Henry

Henry's 2020 has been especially unique and he's truly in a class of his own when it comes to running. Henry leads the NFL in rushing yards by 220, has scored 15 times on the ground and is averaging over 5 yards per carry. Henry has gained 314 yards over expectation, the most in the NFL, and boasts the only RYOE total over 300 in the entire league. Defenses bent on stopping Henry haven't found success, either, with Henry averaging nearly 6 yards per carry (5.9) against stacked boxes (eight-plus defenders) and scoring 10 touchdowns in such scenarios. Those marks are the highest in the NFL. Henry is again the NFL's best running back.

Josh Allen

Allen ranks third in the NFL in passing yards, fifth in passer rating, and owns a 34:9 TD-to-INT ratio. Once deemed a risk because of a tendency to risk it all for the big play, Allen has matured as a decision-maker, flipping his completion percentage over expectation from a bottom-third rate in 2018 (-7.7, worst in the NFL) and '19 (-3.7, third-lowest) to +4.4, the third-highest mark in the league.

Aaron Donald

Donald has 13.5 sacks, four forced fumbles (one recovery) and 10 run stuffs in 2020. He ranks second in the NFL in total disruptions (73), while also causing three turnovers with QB pressure. Donald's position isn't glamorous, but he's also never been a pretty sight for opposing linemen. On a yearly basis, Donald makes a huge difference for the Rams.

I think Rodgers. He most likely will be mvp, and Madden is in a QB phase, if not, then Allen
