John Madden hasn’t been the main figure on the cover of the NFL’s signature video game in more than two decades, but he’ll return to the spot for all three covers planned for Madden 23.

The game, which is named after the Raiders’ Hall of Fame coach and featured his commentary, has placed players on the front in all of its 21st-century yearly editions. Madden, who died Dec. 28, had been on the cover from the original game in 1988 to Madden 2000, released in 1999.
