When they say cover, do they mean on the main menu?

EDIT: Just read it. Seems a bit odd they'd sell it as a "cover" athlete for a digital only game.

Downloadable titles have digital "box art" when you view them on the Xbox Live Marketplace.

I hope Willis makes it. Gotta' give the love to the defense in a game like Blitz where the hits are huge.

I still think it's weird though. I think it's just the wording. I think a better wording would be a "feature athlete" or something.

The pic says it all....after this weekend, Stevie Johnson should be the cover. That TD dance of his truly was an NFL Blitz TD dance.

I'm voting for Willis. That guy doesn't get enough credit for his play.
