On Thursday, the cover of the Madden 22 football video game will drop. EA Sports teased its release with a video of two goats…literally. One goat is notably larger than the other.
Even former cover athlete @thepeytonhillis didn’t see this coming…

Speculation points towards Tom Brady and Patrick Mahomes but other Twitter users suggested Brady and Aaron Rodgers.
1) There has never been a player to grace the cover twice.
2) Peyton Hillis(the most shocking of cover athletes) said “they did it again”Leads me to believe this is a surprise pick and the goats are there to throw us off.
Or….. a Manning brother cover?

Another fan suggested Brady and Gronk.
It’s gotta be either Brady & Brees or Brady & Gronk right? pic.twitter.com/m8f5LvTC5u

But a blurry video of a photoshoot reportedly with Brady and Mahomes is pointing to that pairing.
Confirmed that both Tom Brady and Patrick Mahomes filmed content for @EAMaddenNFL back in April in Carrollwood Day School in Florida. Appears to be the answer for the two for the Madden 22 cover.

Brady appeared on the cover of Madden 18; Mahomes was on the cover of Madden 20.
