After Rob Gronkowski's latest injury, don't be surprised if every player in the NFL refuses the chance to be on the cover of the next edition of the popular "Madden" video game franchise. That's because everyone on the internet is again convinced that the "Madden" curse is real.
If you're not familiar with the "Madden" curse, here's the CliffNotes version: Basically, almost every player who's been on the cover of "Madden" since 1999 has had an ugly end to their season.
From Garrison Hearst's broken ankle ("Madden 99") to Donovan McNabb's sports hernia surgery ("Madden 2006") to Peyton Hillis' career ending ("Madden 2012"), plenty of former NFL players have been struck by the supposed curse.
