Every team's best candidate (including the Browns) to grace the cover of Madden 25 (1)

The Cleveland Browns won a ton of post-season awards last season, and one of them was defensive end Myles Garrett bringing home the NFL Defensive Player of the Year award. They have not had a player grace the cover of a video game since Peyton Hillis back in 2011, but Garrett would be an excellent choice to hit the cover of the upcoming Madden 25.

While it is unlikely that Garrett (or any other defensive player for that matter) will hit the cover of the latest edition of the Madden franchise, he is certainly worthy of it. Every fanbase, however, feels like they have a player who deserves to see their face on the cover of the video game.

With Garrett included, here is every team’s best candidate to be the featured cover athlete of Madden 25:
