Related: About this forumSeahawks' Sherman to adorn Madden NFL 15 cover
Seattle Seahawks cornerback Richard Sherman, who garnered national attention with his postgame rant after winning the NFC championship in January, will be the cover athlete for the "Madden NFL 15" video game that hits shelves Aug. 15.
Sherman and Carolina Panthers quarterback Cam Newton were the finalists in the online voting at ESPN.com. Sherman becomes the second Seahawks player to grace the cover. Running back Shaun Alexander had the honor in 2007.
Some people believe becoming the cover athlete for the "Madden" video game carries a jinx. Since the game started featuring players on the cover in 2000, some of the winners experienced a bad year or injuries the season they appeared.

Regression to the mean and injury rate is high in football to explain away this jynx

I don't want to see him hurt.
Honestly.

Since I love Newton.
But a Super Bowl Champ is a good pick.
