New Orleans Saints quarterback Drew Brees has been named the cover boy for EA Sports 'Madden NFL 11'.
Brees, who is coming off a great season that was capped by him winning the Super Bowl MVP trophy. Following his teams 31-17 win over the Indianapolis Colts told the Associated Press he was honored to be on the cover.
"A great way to cap off an amazing year." Brees said.
Brees was chosen by fans who voted online to determine the game's cover athlete. The other choices were Indianapolis Colts wide receiver Reggie Wayne and Minnesota Vikings defensive end Jared Allen
The Madden cover does however, have a scary history tied to it. A number of players that appeared on the cover over the years have either gotten hurt or had terrible seasons right after.
Marshall Faulk, Ray Lewis, Vince Young, Shaun Alexander, Troy Polamalu, Ray Lews, Donovan McNabb and Michael Vick have all suffered at the hand of the dreaded "Madden Curse"
Will Brees suffer the same fate? I'm sure the "Who Dats" in New Orleans are praying he doesn't.
The game is due Aug. 10 for PlayStation 3, XBox 360, Nintendo Wii, PS2 and PSP, as well as the iPhone and other mobile phones.
