While I am not at liberty to disclose the candidates that will be up for the Madden 11 cover athlete vote I will be dropping some hints today and tomorrow leading up to them being revealed on Thursday. For those of you following me on Twitter I briefly mentioned a few vague details yesterday and even eliminated some names that had been guessed.

As I first stated upon initial reaction given that EA Sports would need to come to an agreement with any player before offering them up as a potential cover athlete this would not end up as a contest where any player was eligible. Instead there will be three names to choose from and they all come from teams that participated in the playoffs. The vote will determine the single player to grace the cover, it will not be two like last year. Feel free to speculate on who you think the three will be in the comments and check back tomorrow for some more hints that should narrow the guesses down!

most overrated are you kiddine me?!?!? The guy is only 175 lbs. to have the balls to play the game the way he does at that weight is incredible, i'd like to see chris johnson do what he does at jacksons size and weight. don't get me wrong johnsons good, i'd take jackson over him though….
jmbrew420

you must not watch football then. c j produced more than any hb all year. d j wasnt even a top 5 receiver this year. jackson cant beat the press because of his petite frame. hes very quick and agile, but not exceptional skill or brains

aaparently you don't pay attention to much football cj broke the record cuz the game plan going into the last game of the year was give the ball to cj. jeff fisher and cj both admitted that on the nfl network earlier today. must be hard to break a record when the team revolves around you….

Just one of the three is still playing for the team he was drafted by. All three play different positions with two of them coming from the offense and one from the defense.

So with that being said here is my guess:

QB’s in playoffs still playing for team drafted AND are marketable:
QB: Peyton Manning or Tom Brady
WR: Chad OchoCino (suprise given his past)

D: Defensivly I would of said Revis, but I don’t believe he is a “marketable” player YET although I could be completly wrong on this — I think if he would of won DPOY he could of been a lock for this cover (although as a Jets fan I’d rather not see him on the cover *madden curse*) so my guess is Jared Allen

Peyton Manning is the only QB

Phillip Rivers, Ochocino and Jared Allen are my guesses.. after further research

riiiiiight, so the other 15 games dont matter. wtf r u talking about? chris johnson even without the last game was the best hb all yr. djax, not even top 5 wr! even if he was the best wr, which he is not even close to being, to say u would take a quick wr over a faster stronger hb that doesnt make dumb plays makes no sense in the world of football. the only logic is that u r gay for him, OR a diehard eagle fan who only knows what happens regarding the eagles so ur not thinking with ur dipstick, but living in ur own little world where the best player in the nfl is always your favorite player

hey guys the final three for the cover r Reggie Wayne,Jared Allen,and Drew Brees
