The votes are in and Richard Sherman will be featured on the cover of “Madden 15”. The Seattle Seahawks cornerback beat out 15 other players in the nationwide voting contest that came down to Sherman and Panthers quarterback Cam Newton.
In the end, it was Sherman who came out on top for the game cover which is scheduled to be released on August 26th. Sherman will be the second Seahawks player to grace the cover, joining Shaun Alexander, who was on the cover of Madden NFL ’07 according to CBS Sports.
So the only thing left to hope for is that the Seahawks player doesn’t fall into the Madden Curse. Fourteen of the past 16 players who have been on the cover of Madden have struggled the following season.
Check out the cover in the picture below.
