Part 2 of our Madden NFL 14 cover vote takes us deeper into the NFL Season leading up to the Super Bowl game. Thanks to enormous feedback and comments we received from part 1, I found it necessary to deliver an updated poll complete with additional players who have performed at the ultimate level in the regular season and during the playoffs. Here we go!
1. Colin Kaepernick (QB) 49ers:
After taking over for the injured Alex Smith earlier in the season, the Wisconsin kid made his presence felt throughout the season. During the NFL playoffs against Green Bay, Kaepernick set a NFL playoff quarterback rushing record, running the ball for 163 yards, breaking Micheal Vick’s previous record of 119 yards. Kaepernick lead his team to his first Super Bowl appearance and has certainly became a household name.
2. Ray Lewis (LB) Ravens:
He already appeared on the cover of Madden NFL but you can’t deny that Lewis is the heart, soul,and voice of the Baltimore Ravens. Ray Lewis returned from a season-ending triceps injury late in the season. Lewis is among one of the longest active players in the NFL, the 17-time Pro bowler and 7-time All-Pro first team, is currently playing in his 17th season as a NFL player, he has one Super Bowl ring under his belt and is now headed to his second career appearance to the Super Bowl.
Adrian Peterson OR Cordelle Patterson
Pat Summerall
Peyton manning
rg3
Adrian Peterson
Here’s my top 3: RG3, Ray Lewis or Kaepernick. But overall, maybe Ray Lewis. If he had announced his retirement earlier, he probably would have been on the cover of the last one. As for this year though, odds are not likely considering he’s done playing. Last year would have made sense though. Just a thought….
Russel Wilson all the way!! Clearly one of, if not the Best Rookie QB so far in the History of the NFL!
The 2012-2013 Rookie Draft Class is arguably one of the best draft classes in the history of the NFL. Russel Wilson, RG3, Andrew Luck.. I think any one of these QB would be perfect for the cover.
WR Sanu from the Bengals!
patrick peterson
Patrick Peterson, yea hes a great corner.. he even made the pro-bowl.. not bad.. You must be from AZ.. haha
Adrian Peterson for sure
Matt Ryan!
Connor Van Ess I THINK IT SHOULD BE CLAY MATHEWS WHERE EVER HE IS.
I think it should be percy Harvin where ever he goes
RG3
Calvin Johnson and Jerry Rice since CJ broke his record
I swear to God, if Colin Kaepernick gets the cover, I won’t even buy the game
Collin Kapernick!
We will post our final results and the projected winner next week… Thank
you guys for visiting the site and voting for your favorite player, we
really appreciate your comments and thoughts.
The best rookie QB and future NFL great…Andrew Luck
you spelled Russel Wilsons name wrong
john madden should be on the cover because its not going to be called madden 14. its going to be madden 25 for the 25th anniversary.
Nobody deserves this more than Adrian Peterson. If he doesn’t get it, then getting on the cover has no meaning because they will have selected a lesser player simply because they play in a larger market.
Aldon smith!
ANQUAN BOLDIN ! He absolutely deserves madden 14 cover. He had an amazing season!joe flacco got Super Bowl MVP and he wouldn’t have been able to do it without Boldin’s great hands…people need to quit thinking about giving it to the rookie quarterbacks! They’ll have their opportunities later in their careers when they really prove theme selves..picking the “best rookie quarterback” is like picking the tallest midget..they havent earned anything yet..boldin howeveris a veteran and a stellar player that has always made a name for himself..hope someone will back me up here
RG3 and Russel Wilson both on the cover, just like Troy Polomalu and Larry Fitzgerald were on Madden 10.
thats a pretty good idea
Definitely Tom Brady!
No way!!!!!
try again thats the wrong answer
Robert Griffin III for Madden 14 cover
Let me preface this with saying, he is not my pick for the Madden Cover, but instead, the SB MVP:
Vernon Davis
This is definitely a Dark-Horse pick, but I think he should warrant serious consideration for this award.
Contributing factors as to why…..
The Ravens Secondary is banged up (and that’s putting it mildly) so they will struggle to keep the SF WR’s contained, there is also the factor of The Pistol with Mr. Tattoo-Arms running it, so that drastically hurts the D-line and their LB’s. Now some of you may think that frees up Frank Gore, well I beg to differ, Gore can still be taken care of because of the way they’ll try to defend against The Pistol.
So that leads me to my potential SB MVP, Vernon Davis. Kaepernick has already started to develop a pretty good chemistry with him, and with everything that Purple & Black defense has to contend with….who’s watching/covering that big TE hauling up the seam or sneaking in to that leve between the Backers and the Secondary?
Nice analysis, If the 49ers win, It will be because of Kaepernick, so he gets my vote for MVP, if the Ravens win, Flacco gets my vote for the Ravens; To keep it post related.. the vote is up in the air for who should bless the Madden 2014 cover. Thanks for the comment!
yea the Ravens secondary looked really banged up in the superbowl
