Franchise Player Tags (Mentor, Franchise QB, etc.) Not Visible

In Madden NFL 27 Franchise Mode, Player Tags such as Mentor, Franchise QB, Bridge QB, Day 1 Starter, Future Starter, etc. are not consistently visible when viewing a player.

For example, Davante Adams has the Mentor Player Tag. I can see the Mentor designation from certain roster/trade-related screens, but when I open his full player card and go through his Overview, Persona, Abilities, Traits, and other tabs, there is no place showing that he has the Mentor tag.

The Traits page only displays gameplay/personality traits such as:

Aggressive Receiver

Steering Clear

Disciplined

The actual Mentor Player Tag is missing.

I have noticed the same problem with other important Franchise tags such as Franchise QB. These tags affect roster-building, progression, free agency, drafting, and CPU team logic, so players should be able to see them directly from a player's profile instead of having to enter the trade screen to determine which Player Tags they have.

Steps to reproduce:

Enter Franchise Mode.

Find a player who has a Player Tag such as Mentor or Franchise QB.

Confirm the tag through the trade/roster screen where it is displayed.

Open the player's full player card.

Check Overview, Persona, Progression History, Abilities, and Traits.

The Player Tag is not displayed anywhere on the player card.

Expected result:

A player's Franchise Player Tags should be clearly displayed somewhere on the player card, preferably under Overview or Persona.

Actual result:

Player Tags appear on limited screens, such as the trade interface, but disappear when viewing the player's actual profile.

This makes Franchise roster management unnecessarily difficult because there is no convenient way to inspect Player Tags directly from the player card.

I would definitely use “Player Tags” in the title instead of “traits.” That terminology makes the bug much harder for EA to dismiss as confusion with the Traits tab.

Your Adams screenshots are also very good evidence because they show the contradiction directly: Mentor appears on one screen, while his full Traits page contains no Mentor designation.
