New Orleans Saints Super Bowl winning QB Drew Brees has been selected as the cover athlete for Madden NFL ‘11. Brees beat out Minnesota Vikings defensive end Jared Allen and Indianapolis Colts wide receiver Reggie Wayne in fan voting (yeah right).
“The Madden NFL franchise holds a special place in popular culture and the cover is a coveted position for players all over the league,” said New Orleans Saints quarterback Drew Brees. “I’m honored to be the first cover athlete chosen by Madden NFL fans and it’s a great way to cap off an amazing year for the Saints and the city of New Orleans.”
Brees says that he’s not worried about the Madden Curse and for Saints fan’s sakes they better hope he doesn’t fall in line with previous cover athletes.
Fans will also have the opportunity to decide on other Madden features as well. From now until April 26, fans can vote on three match-ups through the Madden NFL website and determine which teams would be featured in the Madden NFL 11 game demo: a Super Bowl rematch, or a replay of one of the Conference Championship games.
Also during the 2010 NFL Draft, fans will have the opportunity to influence rookie player ratings in Madden NFL 11 via online votes on the Madden NFL website.
