Madden 16: Who Will Be On The Cover?

The Madden cover has become a sports gaming institution, with thousands of fans around the world voting for their favourite NFL star to grace their game for the upcoming year. Current NFL players are put in head-to-head match-ups online, with the most popular figures advancing through knockout rounds, culminating in a final between two players. This ensures that a significantly popular, or important player, will always be chosen for the cover, appeasing the fans and EA's bank balance in equal measure, though starring on the cover doesn't always end well for the players themselves. The 'Madden Curse' has been widely-publicised, with 10 of the 17 cover stars missing games through injury in the season that they appeared as the face of Madden. It is almost a poisoned chalice for NFL stars, though less superstitious players will see it for the honour that it is, with Seahawks icon Richard Sherman being the latest player to feature. But in a league that has seen some popular players retire and others suspended for a host of reasons, who will grace the cover of Madden 16? Here's a rundown of who might star, and some other characters who certainly won't be included on the cover.
