Though it had leaked a few days earlier, EA Sports announced Wednesday that Antonio Brown will grace the front of Madden 19 standard edition which will be available worldwide for Xbox One and PlayStation 4 on Aug. 10. Brown was long overdue for a cover as the NFL's reigning best wide receiver for five seasons.
The cover features a helmetless and smiling Brown, which is a departure from the action shots on recent Madden covers. It's a fitting tribute to Brown who is constantly smiling on and off the field.
“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.”
Brown follows Tom Brady (2018), Rob Gronkowski (2017), Odell Beckham Jr.(2016) and Richard Sherman (2015) as stars featured on the popular video game.
Brown has matched elite production on the field -- including an NFL-record five straight 100-catch seasons -- with marketing appeal. Brown's jersey is one of the league's top sellers. Brown has endorsed products for AT&T/DirecTV, Campbell's Soup, Pepsi, Nike, NFL Sunday Ticket and more.
For gamers who can't wait to go to work with a virtual Brown in 2018, EA Access and Origin Access members will be able to demo "Madden 19" on Xbox One and Origin for PC for 10 hours on Aug. 2. Hall of Fame edition owners can get full access to the game Aug. 7.
