Madden NFL 19 will be released for the PC, PS4, and Xbox One in just a few weeks (on August 10), and now we know who’ll be gracing the game’s cover.
Antonio Brown is widely considered one of the best wide receivers in the NFL, and a recent inductee into Madden’s “99 Club” for players with a 99 Overall rating in the game. Now, the Pittsburgh Steelers star can add another accolade to his trophy case as the official Cover Athlete of Madden NFL 19.
“I am beyond honored to be on the cover of both Madden games,” said Brown. “There’s a lot of milestones athletes dream of, and after being inducted into the Madden 99 Club earlier this year, and now appearing on the cover of this year’s games, it’s clear that business is not just booming, but I’m also among the all-time greatest with these honors.”
“AB has taken the league by storm the past few years and is arguably one of the best wide receivers to ever play in the NFL,” said Joshua Rabenovets, the Senior Brand Director at EA Sports. “His game is hot, he’s got a ton of personality on and off the field – he was an easy choice for the Madden NFL 19 cover.”
Good luck to Antonio Brown during the 2018-2019 season, and please insert your own “Madden Curse” joke here.
A new Madden NFL 19 trailer featuring Brown can be found after the break.
