	<title><![CDATA[Madden 22: Ranking the 5 best Cover Athlete candidates]]></title>
	<description><![CDATA[<p>With Madden 22 coming out this summer, there are lots of great options and plenty of deserving players but we've put together a list of the top 5 players who we think might make their way onto the Madden 22 cover.</p><p>Aaron Rodgers</p><p>The most obvious choice for the Madden 22 cover is reigning NFL MVP Aaron Rodgers. Surprisingly, Rodgers has never been on a cover of Madden even though for the last decade he has consistently played at a very high level.</p><p>It makes a lot of sense that a big name player, playing for a big name franchise, at the most important position in the NFL would be the perfect fit for the Madden 22 cover.</p><p>As it stands right now, Rodgers has to be the odds on favorite for the Madden 22 cover.</p><p>Stefon Diggs</p><p>Stefon Diggs may be the most unlikely of the players on the list to be on the cover. Some may argue he&rsquo;s not even the best option on his team (more on that later). However, the appeal is certainly here for Diggs.</p><p>In his first season in Buffalo, Diggs proved why he&rsquo;s one of the NFL&rsquo;s most electric wide receivers. He led the NFL in receptions and receiving yards while helping the Bills secure their first division title since 1995.</p><p>But if Diggs is on this list, then why isn&rsquo;t Davante Adams? After all, Adams led all players in receiving touchdowns and was a key part of Green Bay&rsquo;s division title run.</p><p>Looking back at recent years, Madden has seemingly favored breakout athletes. Rather than go with established stars like Aaron Rodgers or Russell Wilson, they&rsquo;ve opted for young up-and-comers like Patrick Mahomes and Lamar Jackson.</p><p>Simply put, Diggs&rsquo; performance feels more like a main storyline to the 2020-21 season. He&rsquo;d be a fine cover athlete, though there are a few others players who may be better suited to grace this year&rsquo;s cover.</p><p>Aaron Donald</p><p>Isn&rsquo;t it about time Aaron Donald gets on the Madden cover? I know I just said EA Sports tends to focus on young up-and-comers, but Donald did just win his third Defensive Player of the Year award.</p><p>Not only may Donald be the NFL&rsquo;s best defensive player, but he&rsquo;s arguably one of the best players in the entire league, maybe even the best &mdash; singular.</p><p>As great as Donald is, EA Sports seems to favor offensive players for the cover. Only three defenders have ever made it onto the cover: Ray Lewis (Madden 2005), Troy Polamalu (with Larry Fitzgerald on Madden 10) and Richard Sherman (Madden 15).</p><p>Adding Donald would be a fine way to honor a player of his caliber while putting emphasis on defense. It may not be the flashy pick, but Donald is well worthy of gracing a Madden cover at some point.</p><p>Josh Allen</p><p>As vital as Stefon Diggs was to the Bills&rsquo; breakout season, no one was more important than Josh Allen. He was the face of Buffalo&rsquo;s 13-3 campaign, which included their first trip to the AFC championship since 1988.</p><p>Allen&rsquo;s breakout campaign saw him finishing fifth in passing yards and passing touchdowns while posting the fourth-most rushing touchdowns among quarterbacks.</p><p>The sole reason Allen isn&rsquo;t the main contender for Madden 22&rsquo;s cover athlete is recent history. As I said in an earlier slide, Patrick Mahomes and Lamar Jackson were the last two cover athletes. Madden may not want to have a budding superstar quarterback grace their cover for a third consecutive season.</p><p>Either way, Allen was one of the most talked-about players of the season. He would be an appropriate player to be Madden&rsquo;s next cover athlete, though one other player may have a better case.</p><p>Derrick Henry</p><p>All it would take is for Madden 22 to introduce a new stiff-arm, trucking animation, or some sort of other power run feature and Henry would be the guy.</p><p>It is incredibly rare for a running back to run for 2000 yards in a season and with running backs becoming less and less important in most NFL teams&rsquo; offenses, this could be one of the last good opportunities to put a featured back on the cover.</p><p>Look for Derrick Henry to be a strong contender to grace the cover.</p><p>That's all the methods about 5 Players Most Likely To Be On The Madden 22 Cover. I hope all Madden NFL gamers can get an improved gaming practical experience.<span style="text-decoration: underline;">&nbsp;If you really don't want to take the time to grind yourself out </span><a href="https://www.igvault.com/Madden-22-Coins"><span style="text-decoration: underline;">NFL 22 Coins</span></a><span style="text-decoration: underline;">&nbsp;, you can Buy </span><a href="https://www.igvault.com/Madden-22-Coins"><span style="text-decoration: underline;">Madden NFL 22 Coins</span></a></p>]]></description>
