Madden NFL 11 Cover Athletes: Brees, Wayne, Allen, All in Contention (ESPN)

[indigence]

I have to agree Wayne is a very odd choice considering all the other WR to choose from. I would really like to see Brees on the cover. I kinda feel for him, it seems like because of the birthmark he has been shut out of the marketing sector. It might be his choice, I know he is a little introverted, but it seems like if someone wants an NFL QB to market their product its always Manning, Brady, Romo, Farve, Quinn (lol his rookie year)

Well, the athlete has to agree to do it as well. Peyton has never been on it and there have been times when he would have been a good option before so maybe he just doesnt want to. I know there was a lot of talk when vince was on that it was more about others not wanting it than them wanting him.

^That's true.

Although Reggie has Peyton throwing to him, he is the most uncoverable and best catching receiver in the NFL...ask Revis. Peyton already said he really frees up things for the other receivers since he requires so most attention. I'm just glad his dominance is being recognized.

I also want to say, it should be more than on field performance to judge a great athlete: http://www.torontosun.com/sports/foo...45446-qmi.html

top 10, top 5? more like top 3 or like the best receiver.

I would love to see Reggie Wayne only because he's the man.

And the guys I named aren't in the top 10 at their positions at the moment?

I didn't mean to make you shed a tear...I was just saying it seems like if you HAD to pick a Colt, the last one I would have thought would be Reggie Wayne. He just seems like such a non-spotlight guy a la Marv Harrison before he pulled the trigger LOL

Yeah but I don't see what being in the spotlight has to do with being on the cover on Madden. The guy is one of the best receivers in the game and playing in the Super Bowl in a few days. Seems pretty deserving to be up for consideration if you ask me.

Also, Reggie Wayne should be the second person you would think of if you had to pick a Colt, after Peyton. Wayne is the second best player on the team.
