Madden NFL 2001 is an American football video game. It is the third in the Madden NFL series to include an NFL player Tennessee Titans running back Eddie George on its cover (the first being Madden NFL '95 which featured Erik Williams and Karl Wilson along with Madden himself). In addition it is the first game in the series to have a player instead of John Madden featured prominently on the box art. Madden's picture is shown on a small logo which would reappear for every following game until Madden NFL 06. It is also the first game in the Madden NFL series to appear on the PlayStation 2 game console. This is the first Madden game to feature NFL Europe teams.
