Buffalo drafted Allen with the seventh overall pick in the 2018 NFL Draft, and he has helped transform the franchise since becoming the team’s full-time starting quarterback. The team made the playoffs in each of the last four seasons and reached one AFC Championship Game.
Allen’s 2022 season showcased how he is a video-game quarterback in real life. He threw for 4,283 passing yards and 35 touchdowns and bulldozed his way to 762 yards and seven touchdowns on the ground. He led the Bills to a 13-3 record and finished third in NFL MVP voting.
On top of the cover reveal, EA Sports also released a reveal trailer for “Madden NFL 24.”
