Baltimore Ravens superstar quarterback Lamar Jackson will grace the cover of Madden 21, he said Tuesday.

Jackson is arguably the best virtual player to use in the history of the Madden franchise. He surpassed Michael Vick as Madden's fastest quarterback ever last year, boasting a speed rating of 96.

The 23-year-old Jackson was a cheat code on the real field last year, too, taking home NFL MVP honors after throwing for 3,127 yards and 36 touchdowns while rushing for 1,206 yards and another seven scores on the ground.

Jackson added that he's "not worried" about the Madden curse that has plagued numerous cover athletes over the years. Kansas City Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes was on the cover last year and ended up winning the Super Bowl.
