10 NFL Players Struck By The Madden Curse

1. Peyton Hillis - Madden NFL 12

Running back Peyton Hillis had an unsuccessful spell at the Broncos, before a switch to the Cleveland Brown revitalised his career and ran for 1,117 yards and 11 TDs, earning him a place on the cover for proving the doubters wrong and breathing new life into his career. Unfortunately, that season appeared to be a fluke, with his cover season rushing yards less than half of what he had previously posted, and scoring just three TDs after a season blighted by niggling injuries. He has since signed for the Chiefs, Bucs, and Giants, playing 29 games in three years, tallying up a combined 671 yards with three TDs.
