It's official. New Orleans Saints quarterback and Super Bowl MVP Drew Brees is the cover athlete for Madden NFL 11.
The game is due Aug. 10 for PlayStation 3, XBox 360, Nintendo Wii, PS2 and PSP, as well as the iPhone and other mobile phones.
Brees won out over Minnesota Vikings defensive end Jared Allen and Indianapolis Colts wide receiver Reggie Wayne in EA Sports' first fan voting campaign to choose the cover athlete. EA Sports Peter Moore said in his blog that the voting process, promoted by Doritos on special snack bags, came down to the final days.
The game publisher had planned to announce the cover athlete tonight during the NFL Draft, but Brees' win was leaked last night.
