While the ratings have been slowly coming out EA has yet to announce the cover athlete for this year’s game. According to Twitter user RossJames1998, Antonio Brown will be this year’s cover athlete and this is what cover photo will look like.

It appears that the @EAHelp account also accidentally leaked the news today while responding to someone on Twitter.

If Brown is indeed on the cover of Madden he would be the first Steeler to appear on the game’s cover since Troy Polamalu did for Madden 10.
