In what came as a bit of a surprise, third-year quarterback Caleb Williams has been named the face of EA Sports' Madden NFL 27. The young star becomes the first Chicago Bears player to ever grace the cover of the popular video game.
Electronic Arts revealed him as the face of the game this week, throwing a jump pass over the Chicago skyline on the standard edition and doing his signature "Iceman" celebration in the snow on the cover of the deluxe edition. He is also the first quarterback to make the cover since Josh Allen in Madden 24.
This honor comes after a breakout sophomore season in 2025. Williams finished the season throwing for 3,942 yards, 27 touchdowns, and seven interceptions, while also rushing for 388 yards and three touchdowns on the ground.
