There is no one more famous across the NFL right now than the Kelce brothers. So the NFL could make a decision that might lead to way more sales for their Madden 25 game.
Jason Kelce is beloved in Philadelphia but he was thrown into the spotlight even more than before after the relationship between his brother, Travis Kelce, and Taylor Swift went public.
The brother's New Heights podcast saw views skyrocket and they were more than just a name in the NFL now. Everyone across the world wanted to follow the Kelce's.
So if the NFL decided to continue on the trend of cashing in on the Taylor Swift effect, why not put Jason and Travis on the cover.
Former NFL quarterback Robert Griffin III even agreed with the idea, posting a mock Madden cover following the release of Swift's album, The Tortured Poets Department.
"Taylor Swifts’ new album The Tortured Poets Department SHATTERED the Spotify record for most streamed album in a single day in 2024 in less than 12 hours. There is no doubt that this Madden Cover would lead to the greatest selling Madden Game of all time," Griffin wrote on X, formerly known as Twitter, in April.
While this one doesn't have Jason on it, it's still along the same idea.
Swift's presence at games this season led to a huge increase in viewership across the NFL, but specifically during Chiefs games. And all of that was just so some fans could simply catch a glimpse of Swift.
With that, the NFL made a move in February that was clearly a direct result of the money she helped bring in.
"The NFL announced on Friday that the 2024 Salary Cap number will be "$255.4 million per club, with an additional $74 million per club payment for player benefits," according to NFL Network's Tom Pelissero.
As for Jason, he has won over fans with his funny but also caring and kind personality. So the Kelce brothers on the cover would be amazing. And why not even throw Donna Kelce on for some fun.
The official Madden 25 cover will be released on Tuesday, June 11.
