It should be Cam Newton but 2 be honest I would like ALL 4 2 be on the cover lol

but it looks like 3 people on the shaded out cover so who knows

I don't believe in a Madden curse. Give me P-Willy!!!

It will go well with my Justin Smith Custom Cover for Madden 12.

My guess is it will come down to Newton and Johnson...

Rodgers seems like the pick that makes the most sense. It would be cool to see Patrick get some love though

[EAGLESFAN10]

Patrick Willis could get ... I mean when is the last time a defensive playmaker was on the cover since Ray Lewis besides the one with Fitzgerald and Troy

Thank God that the one year wonder, Victor Overrated Cruz, is out of the running.
