Madden fans, choose the cover athlete of Madden '12!

EA Sports announced today that from today until April 27, football fans will be able to vote among 32 candidates (one from every team) to be the next Madden cover athlete. The bracket-style voting campaign is exclusively on ESPN.com.

Green Bay Packers quarterback and Super Bowl XLV MVP Aaron Rodgers, former Madden NFL cover athletes Drew Brees (quarterback, New Orleans Saints) and a wave of NFL stars including Michael Vick (quarterback, Philadelphia Eagles), Maurice Jones-Drew (running back, Jacksonville Jaguars), Adrian Peterson (running back, Minnesota Vikings) and Julius Peppers (defensive end, Chicago Bears) are among the 32 candidates.

Tune in to ESPN’s “SportsNation” today (March 21) at 4pm Eastern Time to see the full Madden NFL 12 cover athlete bracket.

“Whether it be from fans, media, agents, or even the players themselves, there’s never a shortage of opinions when it comes to the annual selection of the Madden NFL cover athlete,” said Anthony Stevenson, Senior Product Manager of EA SPORTS. “So this year we’re handing the keys over to the public. ESPN continues to be a tremendous partner of the Madden NFL franchise, and it makes perfect sense for ‘SportsNation’ to be the platform that gives fans the ultimate say in who graces the cover of Madden NFL 12.

There are three rounds, a semifinal, and the finals; TGF will be keeping you up-to-date as the rounds progress.

Voting dates:

  • Opening Round: March 21-27
  • Second Round: March 28-April 3
  • Third Round: April 4-10
  • Semifinals: April 11-17
  • Finals: April 18-26
