McCaffrey is coming off a monster 2019 season for the Panthers that saw him lead the NFL in both yards from scrimmage (2,392) and non-passing touchdowns (19). The front office rewarded him with a four-year, $64.1 million contract extension in April.

His special Ankle Breaker ability in Madden results in "increased fakeout rates on skill moves following the catch."

Elliott and Henry's Freight Train "increases his chance to break the next tackle."

Barkley and Cook's ability "increases fakeout rate on next juke, spin or hurdle" with First One Free.

Chubb's Wrecking Ball means he'll have an increased "success rate on the next three trucks or stiff-arms."

Running backs are the second position to have their Superstar X-Factor abilities revealed.

Quarterbacks were announced Monday, with the Green Bay Packers' Aaron Rodgers ("Gambler"), New Orleans Saints' Drew Brees ("Pro Reads"), Baltimore Ravens' Lamar Jackson ("Truzz"), Kansas City Chiefs' Patrick Mahomes ("Bazooka"), Seattle Seahawks' Russell Wilson ("Blitz Radar") and Tampa Bay Buccaneers' Tom Brady ("Pro Reads") in the group.

Jackson is the game's cover athlete.

Madden NFL 21 is scheduled for an Aug. 28 worldwide release on PlayStation 4, Xbox One and PC. It will debut on the next-gen consoles, PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X, when those platforms are released during the 2020 holiday season.
