Madden cover finalists are out: Who made the cut?

Just when you thought you could take some fan time off, it's now the season when you'll need to feverishly worry about the Madden NFL 2016 cover jinx. As of Monday, the four finalists are out.

Patriots tight end Rob Gronkowski, Cardinals cornerback Patrick Peterson, Giants receiver Odell Beckham Jr. and Steelers wideout Antonio Brown are in a four-way battle for video game supremacy. GameStop has the voting information here if you're truly inclined.

While Gronkowski and Beckham seem like obvious choices, who can forget the massive Peyton Hillis upset of 2012? How far have we come as a society since that moment?

Beckham has to be the most concerning relative to the fan base. Those who follow the Giants are expecting ridiculous things from the first-year Pro Bowler whereas the Patriots have shown they can still churn out wins without Gronkowski.

Either way, the plot has thickened. First-round voting closes on May 11.

I think we should just give it to Beckham. Just in case. You know.

Also how the hell is Watt not on here after all the bull#### MVP nonsense?

 

[massraider]

Good call.

My three finalists would be Beckham, Gronk, and Watt.

my thoughts exactly. Well, not the "nonsense", JJ was the league's best player last year.

Good call.

yep.

That said, I give it to Gronk. Best player (aside from Brady) on the champs, probably the best player to have in Madden. I haven't played in a few years but always loved having a stud TE.

 

[Slapdash]

Keep this away from Gronk.

Who will win this year's 'Madden' cover? Odds on each semifinalist

 

[grateful zed]

Keep this away from Gronk.

the celebration party could get scary.

Its down to OBJ and Gronk, I think its time for another two person cover.

Wasn't that the only double? Not OBJ! the kid is to young to get jinxed already.

but would they really put Gronk on the cover now?

 

[spider321]

As a Gronk owner, everyone PLEASE vote for OBJ!!!!!

Would they really put the best TE ever, on the super bowl winning team on the cover?

Yeah, probably.

The gods have smiled on the Patriots this day.

Seeyah in the Superbowl Giants. This year they break the cycle.

 

[ShamrockPride]

Would be very neat to see a TE on the cover of Madden, not gonna lie. But I have a feeling OBJ will run with this one.

Yeah. It is madden. So maybe they would. The nfl wouldn't.
