5 best NFL quarterbacks who have appeared on Madden covers
#5 - Drew Brees
New Orleans Saints legend Drew Brees graced the cover of Madden 11 after fans voted for the future Hall of Famer to be the game's cover star.
Brees was first drafted by the San Diego Chargers in 2001 before being traded to the Saints as the Chargers drafted Philip Rivers as their new starter.
Brees set all kinds of records with the Saints, winning NFL Offensive Player of the Year twice and leading the league in passing on seven occasions. He brought home the Saints' first and, to date, only Super Bowl title in Super Bowl XLIV. He was also named Super Bowl MVP and retired following the 2020 season with 80,358 passing yards to his name, as well as 571 touchdown passes with a career passer rating of 98.7.
#4 - Michael Vick
Michael Vick was the cover star of Madden 04. He was arguably the best player to ever play with in the video game. The Atlanta Falcons star was a menace in that game and was a menace on the field at the time, too. The NFL had never seen a quarterback scramble as well as Vick could.
He made four Pro Bowls throughout his career playing for the Falcons, Philadelphia Eagles, New York Jets, and Pittsburgh Steelers. However, his legacy was tarnished when he was found to be involved in a dogfighting ring, which led to jail time for him and a suspension from the NFL.
