Madden NFL 24 is looking for its next cover star, following two years of iconic features. In Madden 22, Tom Brady and Patrick Mahomes shared the cover after their epic Super Bowl showdown, where Brady’s Buccaneers prevailed over Mahomes’ Chiefs. It was a rare occasion of having two cover athletes for the game. In Madden 23, John Madden made a triumphant return to the cover after more than two decades. Who will join these legends on the Madden 24 cover? Let’s find out.

Madden 24 might not feature Josh Allen or Patrick Mahomes on the cover, even though they are two of the best contenders. That’s because there’s a new hero in the league, who has earned the nickname of the ‘miracle man’ from a former QB. And he has a good reason to be confident.

Madden NFL 24 cover reveal is happening this Wednesday. Who will be the lucky star to grace the cover of the most popular football video game? The Madden NFL 24 cover could feature a phenomenal player. Will Madden 24 feature record-breaking Justin Jefferson, explosive Josh Allen, or legendary Patrick Mahomes? All three are worthy, but only one will make the cover.

But not everyone agrees with these choices. Ex-NFL QB Robert Griffin has a different opinion. Griffin thinks EA Sports should put Damar Hamlin, the NFL’s miracle man, on the cover.

He tweeted, “EA Sports should make Damar Hamlin the Madden 24 Cover Athlete.” Who is Damar Hamlin? And why does Griffin think he deserves the honor?

Why Damar emerges as a fan favorite?

Damar Hamlin’s story is one of courage and resilience. In 2022, the Buffalo Bills safety assumed the role of a starter after Micah Hyde suffered an injury. But his life changed on January 2, 2023, when he collapsed on the field after a tackle.

One of Hamlin’s biggest fans is Robert Griffin III, the former NFL quarterback who had stints with the Washington Football Team, Cleveland Browns, and Baltimore Ravens. He is now an ESPN analyst and he has a strong opinion on who should be on the Madden cover. He believes Hamlin is the perfect choice because he embodies courage, resilience, and inspiration. Who do fans think, will make the cover ultimately?
