Ravens quarterback Lamar Jackson said Tuesday that he’s been named the cover athlete of the next “Madden” video game.

And no, the reigning NFL Most Valuable Player is not worried about any curses.

“Patrick Mahomes was on the front” of “Madden NFL 20,” he told reporters during a conference call Tuesday. “He won [Super Bowl] MVP.”

The announcement has not been made official. A spokesperson for Electronic Arts, the video game company that develops the popular “Madden” franchise, did not immediately respond to calls and emails seeking comment.

“It’s always been a dream of mine since I was a little kid, since I first started playing ‘Madden.’ It’s dope,” Jackson said. “For me to on the front, that’s a dream come true. That’s an accomplishment for the kids around here where I’m from.”
