5 NFL players who are candidates to be on the cover of Madden 23

#3 - Josh Allen, Buffalo Bills

Josh Allen has quickly become one of the top quarterbacks in the game as he has continued to improve his game over the last several years. He carries a unique combination of throwing and rushing abilities unmatched by any other player. He is one of the best rushing quarterbacks in the NFL while still having one of the strongest arms.

The Buffalo Bills are the preseason favorites to win the Super Bowl following the 2022 NFL season. Josh Allen is also the current favorite to win the NFL MVP award, making him a solid option to put on the cover of Madden.

#2 - Joe Burrow, Cincinnati Bengals

Joe Burrow helped the Cincinnati Bengals win the AFC Championship and appear in the Super Bowl in just his first full season as the starting quarterback after his rookie campaign was cut short by an injury. His success during the 2021 season has instantly made him a superstar.

In addition to making a run to the Super Bowl, Burrow was also one of the best quarterbacks in the league last year. He was the only quarterback to complete more than 70 percent of his passes and trailed only MVP Aaron Rodgers in passer rating.

#1 - Cooper Kupp, Los Angeles Rams

Cooper Kupp put together a historic season last year. He became just the fourth player in the previous 50 years to win the receiving triple crown by leading the league in receptions, receiving yards, and receiving touchdowns. He also fell just 17 yards shy of the single-season receiving yardage record set by Calvin Johnson.

Kupp capped off an incredible year by winning the Super Bowl MVP award. He could have one last encore to add to his trophy case by being selected as the cover athlete for Madden 2023.
