Starting today EA Sports is holding a fan vote to decide the cover athlete for August 2011's entry to the Madden series of American Football games, Madden NFL 12.
There are five rounds of weekly votes, the first ending March 27, to determine which of the 32 NFL players will eventually emerge victorious on April 27.
The list of potential cover stars runs from the Green Bay Packers' 2011 Super Bowl MVP Aaron Rodgers all the way to the Seattle Seahawks' "12th Man", a tribute to the team's fans.
Tim Tebow, Michael Vick, Hines Ward and Matt Ryan are also in the mix.
Drew Brees was NFL 11's face and, if he wins, would be the first to feature twice in a row.
Votes are being taken at http://www.espn.com/MaddenVote.
