Adrian Peterson will not be on the cover of Madden NFL 25.
Peterson was ousted by Detroit Lions hall of famer Barry Sanders in the final vote. Sanders claimed 58 percent of the vote.
I am shocked, excited, humbled, elated. I am also proud to be the Madden 25 Cover athlete.

Sanders represented the “old school” players while Peterson represented “new school” players.
This is good news, according to the Pioneer Press because Peterson narrowly avoided the “Madden Curse.”
