Josh Allen has been named the cover athlete for Madden NFL 24.

"It's such a small group of people who have ever touched the face of Madden, so now to be on that list, it's very surreal. It's very humbling," Allen told ESPN. "To think about where I was not too long ago and coming out of high school with zero offers, going to junior college and have one offer, University of Wyoming of all places, and then fast-forward to now.

"I don't know if I would have believed you at that point, if you were to tell me in high school. It's so surreal. Madden has such a special place in my heart."

Allen grew up playing Madden and would often play as the San Francisco 49ers, who were his childhood favorite team.

Allen began last season as a 92 overall in Madden and got as high as a 96 before finishing the season as a 93.
