Lamar Jackson might have jumped the gun Tuesday afternoon.
The Baltimore Ravens quarterback revealed he will grace the cover of “Madden NFL 21,” which will be released sometime in late summer. However, EA Sports, the gaming publisher behind the “Madden” franchise, apparently wasn’t quite ready for the news to break.
Check out this tweet from the official “Madden” Twitter account:

Oops!
It’s hard to fault Jackson on this one, as he understandably is excited about being chosen as the cover athlete for the most popular sports video game of all time. Still, he probably should’ve double-checked that it was OK to break the news.
