Barkley is selected as the cover star of "Madden 26" game!
Recently, the football game "Madden NFL 26" officially announced the cover star: the new Super Bowl champion Eagles' running back, Saquon Barkley, wearing the No. 26 NFL jerseys. He will appear on the game cover with his iconic reverse hurdle action created last season.
Barkley shot two versions of the cover for the game. Among them, the standard version of the game cover is Barkley wearing a retro green Philadelphia Eagles football jersey and soaring into the air, reproducing the classic moment. In the other deluxe version of the cover, he wears the dark green jersey that won the Super Bowl, showing the king's posture.
This is the second consecutive year that a running back has appeared on the cover of Madden after 49ers running back Christian McCaffrey last season. Barkley also became a member of the "Madden 99 Club", marking the NFL's reaffirmation of the status of top running backs.
