On Thursday EA Sports will announce the cover athlete for Madden NFL 17. While the previous six editions of the video game franchise have had the player determined by fan voting that won't be the case this time around.
Last year we correctly predicted Odell Beckham Jr. would end up on the cover. Who is the most likely to receive the honor this year? There are a few names that stand above the crowd and some post-retirement options that could explain why the publisher didn't want (or need) to go to a vote in this case.
