Philadelphia Eagles running back Saquon Barkley will grace the cover of Madden NFL 26, as announced by EA Sports. The cover features Barkley’s impressive backward hurdle during a game against the Jacksonville Jaguars, marking the second consecutive year a tailback has been featured after Christian McCaffrey. Following a standout season where he led the NFL with 2,005 rushing yards and was named Offensive Player of the Year, Barkley signed a two-year, $41.2 million contract extension and expressed gratitude to his teammates and fans, looking forward to creating more highlight moments in the upcoming game, set for release on August 14.
