This year the athlete of Madden NFL 11 was chosen a bit differently than previous years. EA Sports got together with Doritos allowing users to log into www.doritoschangethegame.com to vote for the next cover athlete for this years title. The choices were between Jared Allen, Drew Brees, and Reggie Wayne. Well EA Sports announced today who exactly will be gracing the cover of Madden 11.
Drew Brees is the chosen player this year. EASports.com had this to say on the selection:
“Brees’s decorated NFL career has included four Pro Bowl selections, three All Pro selections, three NFC Offensive Player of the Year awards, the Associated Press 2008 NFL Offensive Player of the Year and the Pro Football Weekly 2004 Comeback Player of the Year. Off the field, Brees has been a champion as well through his charity – the Brees Dream Foundation – and his work in the New Orleans, San Diego and West Lafayette/Purdue, Ind. communities, which have provided over $4,500,000 to charitable causes and academic institutions.”
Though there have been many discussions of the so-called “Madden Curse” that has been around for years, it is still considered an honor to be featured on the cover of Madden.
