EA has now lifted the curtain on who’s going to be the next coverboy for their highly-successful Madden NFL franchise. It’s gonna be Drew Brees, MVP of Super Bowl XLIV and now at risk from the wrath of the mythical Madden Curse.

The cover athlete was decided via fan voting, and the Super Bowl hero came up on top of the other two finalists – Jared Allen of the Vikings and Reggie Wayne of the Colts.

“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 Brees, quarterback of the New Orleans Saints. “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.”
