Aside from the cover art, the Tampa Bay Buccaneers and Kansas City Chiefs’ play callers are featured prominently alongside other stars like Buffalo Bills receiver Stefon Diggs and Minnesota Vikings running back Dalvin Cook in the stunning new gameplay trailer for Madden NFL 22. 

“It’s been a great experience being on the cover of Madden NFL 22 with Patrick. We both share a love for the game of football and to be a part of this iconic franchise is very special,” said seven-time champ Brady. “This year’s game really captures the energy and unpredictability that you see on the field every Sunday and we’re excited for fans to experience it for themselves.”

“This is only the second time two athletes have been on the cover together and we’re both eager for fans to dig into Dynamic Gameday which makes the game more immersive, authentic and keeps it fresh year-round,” said Mahomes.
