A season after being topped by Odell Beckham Jr. for the cover of Madden ’16, New England Patriots tight end Rob Gronkowski will get the nod for this year’s edition.

There is no question after Tom Brady’s Deflategate flap (and somewhat apathetic nature regarding commercials), Peyton Manning’s issues, and Cam Newton’s post-Super Bowl meltdown, that Gronkowski is the new face of the league.

That’s right. Rob Gronkowski – a man who sponsored a party cruise so people could probably get laid and drink a lot – is the face of the National Football League.

These are wild times my friend.
