The Gridiron Guardians Program made its return to Madden Ultimate Team today, featuring LTD Jeffery Simmons and Gridiron Guardians Champions Justin Herbert and Charles Woodson. The theme of Gridiron Guardians, or MUT Heroes from previous years, is Madden meets Superheroes.

There IS a Training Reroll Pack and a one-time Training offer for a Gridiron Guardians Elite Pack available with Gridiron Guardians. Check out the players and program details below:
