One of the most anticipated aspects to the annual release of a new edition of the popular Madden NFL themed video game is which player will grace the cover.
After having a breakout MVP season, many suspected Cam Newton would be a sure-fire pick to be features, yet many believe it will be Patriots’ TE Rob Gronkowski after seeing these glimpses of screenshots that were leaked.
