Will "Madden Curse" affect Megatron?-- Wed Apr 25 8:45 pm -- Lions WR delighted to grace video game cover
Fresh off a mega contract, Calvin "Megatron" Johnson has landed the coveted cover of "Madden NFL 13." The Detroit Lions wideout beat out second-year Panthers quarterback Cam Newton for the honor. Although hugely popular, the video game carries the stigma of a "Madden Curse." Running back Peyton Hillis, then a member of the Cleveland Browns, won the fan vote last year, but was plagued by injuries and controversy in a hectic 2011 season.(ESPN)
FF Today's Take:Will Megatron shine or follow in the footsteps of such cover stars like Hillis, Michael Vick, Donovan McNabb and Shaun Alexander? We think the the former. Johnson has missed just three games over five NFL seasons and has been a model of consistency, producing even when star quarterback Matt Stafford has been injured.
