EA Sports officially unveiled the cover athlete for their upcoming Madden 25 game title, which is Hall of Fame running back, Barry Sanders.
After six rounds and a 40 million votes, Sanders beat out "New School" bracket winner Adrian Peterson by taking 58% of the final vote, as well as NFL legends such as Ray Lewis, Joe Montana and Jerry Rice.
Sanders will now appear on the cover of the 25th anniversary of the Madden NFL franchise, and is the first athlete ever to appear on back-to-back covers after sharing the NCAA Football 13 box with Robert Griffin III last year.
"The Madden NFL franchise has such a rich tradition and history, and there's no better way to celebrate our 25th Anniversary than by having one of the best players of all-time on the cover," said Anthony Stevenson, Senior Director of Marketing for EA SPORTS. "Barry Sanders has long been a fan favorite, so we’re proud to have him as the face of Madden NFL 25."
