Great read here..I hope it ain't a Cowboy as they don't need the bad luck

I think the list is pretty good, especially where they make room for the long-shots you wouldn't think of like Ajayi, Robinson, Madden, and Gronk. But surely the ordering is off. I don't think 40 year old QBs are very high on the priority list... it seems they like to go with younger guys who can make one handed catches or pylon-diving plays for their hype videos/trailers. I think David Johnson is one they might have missed based on this criteria.

I think one of the trio of young superstar RBs (DJ/Zeke/Bell) is the best bet, with Zeke being a heavy favorite, benefiting from the Cowboys name and market size.

it will be a player that young hip and very good

1 Von Miller - denver if they want a ray lewis face this is the guy
2 Antonio Brown
3 matt ryan
4 zere or D Johnson

David Johnson is a great role model and I'd love it if he made the cover - probably not the most attractive choice, though.

I sort of doubt it'd be Ezekiel Elliot considering he may face a suspension. But if they've updated QB or how you play QB I could definitely see Dak Prescott. He's young, really good, plays for America's team and has a pristine rep.

I hope not though as I don't want to see him get ensnared in the Madden curse.

Since the game mostly caters to the Ultimate Team folks EA could possibly use the UT logo.

I don't agree they mostly cater to Ultimate Team. They give it a lot of attention, sure, because it makes them a ton of money, but if the base game isn't great then no one will play the MUT part.

Why hasn't Brady or Manning been on the cover? Two faces of the NFL for the past two decades.
