Cardinals have 4 good options for cover of Madden 25

Offseason staples in the NFL every year are the announcements related to the Madden NFL video games from EA Sports. Coming up on June 11, the cover athlete will be announced. The game will drop in August.

An Arizona Cardinals player likely won’t the cover, but if EA Sports were to release a cover for all 32 NFL teams, Arizona would have four solid options.

QB Kyler Murray

Murray is the obvious choice because he is the quarterback and has the highest national profile on the roster.

RB James Conner

Conner also has national appeal and will likely be a popular fantasy football choice after his first 1,000-yard season.

TE Trey McBride

Dec 17, 2023; Glendale, Ariz, United States; Arizona Cardinals tight end Trey McBride (85) celebrates after a first down against the San Francisco 49ers during the third quarter at State Farm Stadium.

McBride broke out in 2023 and will certainly be a player than fans will recognize more in 2024.

S Budda Baker

Arizona Cardinals safety Budda Baker (3) celebrates a defensive stop during their 25-23 win over the Atlanta Falcons at State Farm Stadium on Nov. 12, 2023, in Glendale.

How can we not include Baker?
