The Jaguars’ Jarrian Jones recently discussed the Madden 26 cover.<\/p>\n

Jacksonville Jaguars’<\/a> cornerback Jarrian Jones is on the cover of Madden 26. Well, sort of.<\/p>\n

Featured on the cover of the game is Philadelphia Eagles<\/a>‘ running back Saquon Barkley, leaping backwards over Jones, who was attempting to make a tackle during the two teams’ Week 9 matchup last season.<\/p>\n

Jones, however, doesn’t mind that this is how he made his way onto the cover of Madden. As he said recently, it was a great play by Barkley.<\/p>\n

“(Expletive) was kind of hard, for real,” Jones said when asked about the Madden cover. “I’ve seen it. I don’t have Twitter, so I seen it on Instagram. I was like, damn, they didn’t put my number on there. The play was fire to me. Everybody DM’d me like I was going to be mad or something. I don’t give a damn. He made a good play, it is what it is.”<\/p>\n

While it is known that the player under the hurdling Barkley is Jones, on the actual Madden cover is a player with a black helmet, but no Jaguars<\/a> logo, and a white uniform, but no No. 22 for Jones.<\/p>\n

When asked if he wanted his name on the jersey on the Madden cover, Jones said with a smile: “They got to pay me for it. That’s why I say that. They have to pay more for it. But I don’t care, really. I don’t really play Madden anyways.”<\/p>\n

Heading into his second NFL season, Jones will be spending more time lined up outside, but defensive coordinator Anthony Campanile is looking to maximize Jones’ versatility and is “really fired up”<\/a> about what he’s seeing from him during offseason programs.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"The Jaguars’ Jarrian Jones recently discussed the Madden 26 cover.
