Madden 18 Cover Runner-Ups

Hi, today NFL's video game, Madden released the player who will be on the cover of their latest version of Madden, its Tom Brady :(. There was no voting or anything but today I will be posting about other players that could have also been good cover choices for fun. Sorry that I haven't posted in awhile. Here it is:

Ezekiel Elliott, RB, Cowboys:
I was honestly a bit surprised it wasn't Elliott on the cover. He deserved it after a crazy rookie season and I feel like everyone is rooting for him in the NFL. He is probably the most popular player in football and he could have made a fun cover for the game.

Dak Prescott, QB, Cowboys:
Dak won rookie of the year this year after a surprising great season. The 4th round pick stepped in for Tony Romo and ended up driving him at of Big D. Prescott is also one of those players that almost everyone knows now and he is maybe the most popular player in the league other than maybe Zeke or now cover athlete Tom Brady. He would have looked good on the cover.

Matt Ryan, QB, Falcons:
They don't do this much, but maybe putting the NFL MVP on the cover would make sense. Ryan had a great season getting his team the title of Super Bowl runner ups and he won MVP himself. It would be a fun cover to see because you wouldn't think to see Ryan on the cover of the game ever a year or two back in time. I would have been pumped for Ryan on the cover.

Marshawn Lynch, RB, Raiders:
The Madden world would have been shocked if Lynch was put on the cover but its one of those things that could have happened. Lynch was an elite RB in the league a few years ago, at a young age of under 30 years old Lynch decided to hang up his cleats for good...until this past month he decided to come out of retirement to play for his hometown Oakland Raiders. This would have been a fun one.

Vic Beasley, LB, Falcons:
This would be another really fun one. The 2015 1st round pick developed into a big star in his 2nd year leading the NFL in sacks. No one totally saw this coming and I thought that Beasley deserved to win Defensive Player of the Year. It would have been cool to see him get some recoginition for his achievement of leading the league in sacks.

Landon Collins, S, Giants:
Another 2nd year breakout, the former 2nd round pick broke out this year and became a top candidate for Defensive Player of the Year. He lead the league in picks and emerged and elite safety. The world would be shocked, but excited to see Collins take the cover.

Tyreek Hill, WR, Chiefs:
I am just going crazy with these shocking picks, but this one would be the most surprising yet. Barely a top 10 receiver in the league, the blazing rookie speedster receiver and returner broke onto the scene in his rookie year and exposed so many defenders this season. I would have been so excited to see Hill getting recognized as such an explosive player by getting the cover.

LeGarrette Blount, RB, FREE AGENT:
I would loved to have seen the NFLs TD leader make the cover. Some how after that monster season of his where he wouldn't go down for anyone, he still isn't signed yet. The Patriots and Giants are likely candidates to end up getting him. It would have been fun to see him on the cover even though the chances were low.

Thanks for reading and those are some of the many players I would have enjoyed seeing on the Madden cover.
