It’s a running joke in the gaming community that developers of the Madden video game franchise aren’t the best when designing the appearances of rookies. So, no one is usually surprised when they see the draft picks in the game for the first time.
However, pictures of Patriots’ first-round pick Mac Jones from this year’s version of the game seem to show a middle-aged man rather than a 22-year-old.
Instead of his blonde hair and clean-shaven face, Madden 22’s Jones has dark brown hair and just one of the worst neckbeards you will ever see. This is without mentioning the atrocious hairline they gave him.
Just look at this picture shared by 98.5 The Sports Hub’s Toucher and Rich show on Twitter:

It would be completely reasonable for Jones to march down to EA Sports headquarters and demand an apology. Although, I guess it’s better than the time they made Christian McCaffrey the wrong race.
Like Christian McCaffrey could grow a beard that tight… cmon Madden!#Madden20 #NFL100 pic.twitter.com/JTTDuxqWvr
