Lamar didn't have any season-ending traumas or Mut 22 coins problems last year and led the Ravens (11-4) back to the playoffs. He did not really win a Super Bowl like Madden 20 cover celebrity Patrick Mahomes, but continued to play well and will look towards future success.
Meanwhile, 1 man demonstrated once again why he is the G.O.A.T. in soccer, and possibly in the four big sports. Which appears to make Mr. Brady a high option to be the Madden NFL 22 cover star. There's no reason he would not appear again.
Prior to Brady performing Brady items and making history again, there seemed to be a different rumored frontrunner for the Madden NFL 22 cover. This was Tennessee Titans running back Derrick Henry. In the 2020 season, he tallied 2,027 yards and 17 touchdowns, both of which led the league and were career-bests for the Titans celebrity.
It's still possible that Madden could put Henry on the pay, or buy Madden 22 coins launch multiple editions with different cover stars. If that's the case, they can do something similar to NBA 2K21. The game featured Damian Lillard as Current Gen cover star, Zion Williamson as Next-Gen cover star, and a unique Mamba Forever edition using the late Kobe Bryant on the pay.
