Madden NFL 25 Cover Goes to Barry Sanders

The cover campaign for Madden NFL 25 which began back on March 11 with 64 participants – some current stars and others legends from the past – has finally produced a winner. 40 million votes were cast throughout the process and with 58% of the returns Barry Sanders prevailed over Adrian Peterson in the finals for the honor of being featured on the cover.

Check out the official cover art here. This makes it two consecutive years with Barry Sanders featured on an EA Sports cover after winning a competition to share the space on NCAA Football 13 with Robert Griffin III. Sanders has also now appeared as a playable character in both NCAA and Madden and it’s safe to assume that he will be back again as someone to choose for the “Player” path within Connected Franchise mode.
