Madden NFL 20: Patrick Mahomes, Kansas City Chiefs He made the Steelers a threat year in and year out. His combination of route running, speed, and catch radius was unlike anything anyone had ever seen before. Madden NFL 19: Antonio Brown, Pittsburgh Steelersīefore his antics started, Brown was by and far the best receiver of the 2010’s. Madden NFL 18: Tom Brady, New England PatriotsĪfter perhaps the greatest revenge season in NFL history, and another MVP award, the greatest quarterback of all time made his first appearance on the cover. Gronk was in the prime of his career, serving as the perfect running mate to Tom Brady as the duo continued to build the Patriots dynasty in the late 2010’s. The greatest tight end of all time is also the only tight end to ever feature on Madden. Madden NFL 17: Rob Gronkowski, New England Patriots ![]() This was also just shortly after one of the greatest catches in NFL history: OBJ was coming into his own as a superstar receiver at the time of the release of Madden 16. Madden NFL 16: Odell Beckham Jr., Cleveland Browns Sherman was the best cornerback in the league at the time of this Madden release, playing a pivotal role on the Seahawks vaunted Legion of Boom which won them the title against Peyton Manning’s #1 led offense with the Denver Broncos. Madden NFL 15: Richard Sherman, Seattle Seahawks Barry Sanders, the Detroit Lions legend, was chosen for this special edition of Madden. Madden NFL 25: Barry Sanders, Detroit LionsĮA threw it back for this Madden release as they looked to celebrate 25 years of the franchise. Madden NFL 13: Calvin Johnson Jr., Detroit LionsĬalvin Johnson aka Megatron shattered the “Madden Curse” as after featuring on the cover of Madden 13, he proceeded to break the record for receiving yards in a season with 1,964 yards. His 2010 season saw him go for 1,177 yards and 11 touchdowns as he led the Browns with a powerful, downhill running approach. Hillis was the definition of a one year wonder. Madden NFL 12: Peyton Hillis, Cleveland Browns His introduction in that game still might be one of the best speeches all time from any sporting game. Madden NFL 11: Drew Brees, New Orleans Saintsįresh off a Super Bowl win, the Saints legend Drew Brees made an appearance on Madden. ![]() With two players on the cover of Madden this year, it’s the first time that’s happened since Troy Polamalu and Larry Fitzgerald were on the cover of Madden 10. The Steelers and Cardinals had just faced off in the Super Bowl and Fitzgerald and Polamalu were both the respective faces of their teams. This is the last cover EA featured with two cover athletes and it had some serious superstars on it. Madden NFL 10: Troy Polamalu, Pittsburgh Steelers & Larry Fitzgerald, Arizona Cardinals They did offer both versions of the game, however, and well for a legend like Favre, it doesn’t really matter. Yeah, so EA had a little bit of trouble with this cover as Favre was traded to the Jets after they released a cover of him in a Packers uniform. Madden NFL 09: Brett Favre, Green Bay Packers/New York Jets Young is often overlooked as a great quarterback, but he took the Titans to heights they would have never seen otherwise including a Super Bowl appearance which ended with a heart wrenching loss. Madden NFL 08: Vince Young, Tennessee Titans In the 2005-06 season, Alexander set the record for most rushing touchdowns in a year with 28 while running away with the rushing title with 1,880 rushing yards, winning the NFL MVP that year. Madden NFL 07: Shaun Alexander, Seattle SeahawksĪlexander was the face of the Seahawks rushing attack before Marshawn Lynch, and he was very effective. He had led them to a Super Bowl appearance, and he consistently kept them in playoff contention during his time as a starter. McNabb was by and far the face of the franchise for the Eagles in the 2000’s. Madden NFL 06: Donovan McNabb, Philadelphia Eagles His dominance fueled the Ravens’ gritty defenses as he anchored some of the stingiest units in the 2000’s. Madden NFL 2005: Ray Lewis, Baltimore Ravensįamous for his electric pre-game dance and hard hits, Lewis was in the prime of his career, on the path to becoming a Hall of Fame linebacker. Vick was the first instance of a dominant dual threat quarterback and his appearance on Madden commemorated that. Vick may be the most popular Madden cover athlete of all time as fans continue to reminisce about his speed and electric playmaking. Madden NFL 2004: Michael Vick, Atlanta Falcons At the time, he held the record for most scrimmage yards with 2,429. While fans love to attribute the success of the Rams in the early 2000’s to Kurt Warner, overlooking Faulk’s achievements in the ground game would be a sin.
