Madden is not only the most popular NFL game in the world, but it's also one of the highest-selling video game franchises. This year's version, Madden 2023, is likely set to be released during July or August, as it usually is. One of the most important questions yet to be answered about the game is who will be on the cover this year.

With the recent passing of NFL legend John Madden, the game's creator and namesake, it would make sense if he were to be on the cover this year. Madden 22 released three different versions, so if they have multiples again this year, John Madden will almost definitely be on at least one of them to honor his legacy.

For NFL players who could be on the cover of Madden 23, here are five that would appear to have a good shot.

5 NFL players who could be on the cover of Madden 23

#5 - Matthew Stafford, Los Angeles Rams

The quarterbacks are the most popular players to put on the cover of Madden. Choosing the defending Super Bowl-winning quarterback is never a bad option.

Matthew Stafford helped the Los Angeles Rams win the ring in his first season with the team. He could potentially add a Madden cover to his trophy case this year.

#4 - Jonathan Taylor, Indianapolis Colts

Jonathan Taylor is one of the biggest breakout stars of the 2021 NFL season. He helped the Indianapolis Colts to a winning record while dominating just about every rushing statistic.

Taylor led the league in nearly every rushing category, including yards and touchdowns by a wide margin. He ran for 550 more yards and scored three additional rushing touchdowns than any other player last year.
