On Twitter, Berrios quote tweeted a picture of his Madden 23 avatar with a laughing-face emoji, writing: ‘This is egregious.’
He also took to Instagram, as he shared the image and a screenshot of his tweet to his story, saying: ‘Madden has it out for me I’m convinced.’

Another claimed the avatar looked more like actor Tobey Maguire, while one said it was ‘ready to join Peaky Blinders’, the British Netflix series.
Even Berrios’s model girlfriend, Sophia Culpo, joined the chorus of fans poking fun at the avatar.
Culpo, who has been with Berrios for over a year, also shared the image of the avatar and the screenshot of his tweet to her Instagram story as she claimed: ‘It’s 2022 I can get my face printed onto my latte better than this.’
In her next post, she joked that she had been catfished.

Meanwhile, the real-life Berrios has been preparing for his fourth season with the Jets after signing a two-year, $12million extension in March.
However, he has had to ready himself for the coming season without quarterback Zach Wilson this past week, who underwent arthroscopic knee surgery in Los Angeles Tuesday.
The surgery was deemed a success but it is still unclear how long it will take for the 23-year-old second-year pro to recover.
