Tom Brady isn’t afraid of curses. And as the quarterback’s newest Facebook video shows, he’s willing to prove it.
EA Sports announced Friday morning that Brady will be the cover athlete for Madden NFL 18, taking the mantle from teammate Rob Gronkowski, who graced the cover of Madden NFL 17. While some fans may celebrate the “G.O.A.T. Edition” of the game with the Patriots quarterback on the cover, others may be wary of the Madden Curse. Over the years, a number of players have missed games due to injury in the year they were on the cover, including Daunte Culpepper, Marshall Faulk, Donovan McNabb, Shaun Alexander, and Gronkowski, who finished with career lows in receptions, receiving yards, and touchdowns in 2016 thanks to numerous injuries.
