Then there were 8: Gronk, Rodgers, Newton, others advance in Madden NFL 13 cover vote

The second round of voting for the Madden NFL 13 cover vote has been completed and we finally have a few upsets to talk about.

In the left bracket, Patrick Willis (#11) collected 58% of the vote to push past Maurice Jones-Drew (#3). And on the right side, Calvin Johnson (#6) stomped Arian Foster (#3), receiving a whopping 73% of the vote. In another right bracket upset, Ray Rice (#5) squeaked past Drew Brees (#3).

So that leaves both number ones still in the hunt as well as both number twos. Third round voting begins today and runs until April 11 at ESPN.com/maddenvote. Here’s how the third round matchups shake out:

Left Bracket
Cam Newton (#1) vs Larry Fitzgerald (#4)
Victor Cruz (#2) vs Patrick Willis (#11)

Right Bracket
Aaron Rodgers (#1) vs Ray Rice (#5)
Rob Gronkowski (#2) vs Calvin Johnson (#6)
