EA Sports is expected to reveal Madden 27 and College Football 27 at an event in Chicago on June 4, with rumors that Bears QB Caleb Williams could “become the first Bears player to be on the cover of Madden.” Rumors started circulating on social media Saturday with an image showing Williams performing his “Iceman” gesture (USA TODAY, 5/31). There is “little doubting Williams’ popularity” after a season in which he debuted his “Iceman” celebration and provided the NFL with “some of its most memorable moments” (CHICAGO SUN-TIMES, 5/31).
Indiana football coach Curt Cignetti is “front and center” on the deluxe edition cover of the new EA Sports college football video game. No individual coach had been on the cover of the game series since the 1990s (INDIANAPOLIS STAR, 5/31).
