Philadelphia Eagles star running back Saquon Barkley was announced Monday as EA Sports’ cover athlete for Madden NFL 26. Barkley’s sensational backward hurdle over a defender from Week 9 of last year’s Super Bowl-winning season is depicted on the standard cover. The deluxe edition features a tight shot of Barkley in his game-day gear.

EA Sports had the Eagles running back strap into a harness to conjure a cover image of his eye-popping, reverse hurdle from last season.

Saquon Barkley was named the cover athlete of EA Sports' Madden 26, becoming the second Eagles player ever to receive the honor.
