🏈 Philadelphia Eagles All-Pro running back Saquon Barkley’s reverse hurdle covers Madden NFL 26.

“When you get the call, you don’t know what to expect, right? And they ask you, ‘Do you want to be part of the Madden cover?’ I don’t know if anyone’s turned that down,” Barkley said Monday on The Insiders when asked about finding out he’d serve as the game’s feature athlete. “I definitely wasn’t gonna turn that down, the opportunity. I know so many people, so many kids that dream and would love to be in the position I am right now. I remember as a kid wanting to be part of the Madden cover. There have been so many players that have been part of the Madden cover. Now to be mentioned and have my name attached with those guys, words really can’t describe it.”

🏈 On Monday, the Pittsburgh Steelers had a team bonding experience at Kennywood.

“This is a major component of team building from my perspective,” Steelers head coach Mike Tomlin said, who was on hand with his family. “If we’re going to have unique relationships, and that be displayed in our play, we’ve got to be willing to put time in together in an informal way in an effort to build camaraderie and get to know one another. That’s what days like today are all about.”
