Caleb Williams Appears in Leaked Madden NFL 27 Madden Cover

A leaked madden cover image appeared to show Chicago Bears quarterback Caleb Williams on the Madden NFL 27 cover, with his “Iceman” gesture in view. If the image is accurate, it would put a Bears player on the franchise cover for the first time.

Caleb Williams and Madden NFL 27

MUTLeaks posted pictures on Saturday that appeared to show the leaked covers of Madden NFL 27 and College Football 27. The Madden image showed Williams, and it quickly drew attention because no Chicago Bears player had ever appeared on the cover of EA Sports’ Madden NFL video game franchise.

The franchise started featuring players on the cover in Madden NFL 2001. Roberto Garza is the lone Bears link in the cover history, having served as the cover athlete of the Spanish version of Madden NFL 09.

Williams’ Bears season

Williams gave the leak extra weight with what he did on the field in the 2025 season. He led the Bears to an 11-6 record and their first NFC North championship since 2018.

He also finished seventh in the NFL with 3,942 passing yards and sixth with 27 passing touchdowns. Williams added 388 rushing yards, a 58.1% completion percentage, six fourth-quarter comebacks and six game-winning drives, tying for second in the league in that final category.

MUTLeaks and the Bears

MUTLeaks has more than 125,000 followers and a history of accurate pre-release information, which is why the image spread fast. That makes the leak more than a random social post: it points directly at a Bears breakthrough on one of football gaming’s biggest annual stages.

For Bears fans, the immediate takeaway is simple. If the image holds up, Williams would become the first Chicago player to headline the Madden cover and give the franchise its first true cover presence in team history.
