    Nope, Eddie George became the first cover athlete in the 2001 edition and the first year the fans could vote was in 2011 when Hillis won the cover vote.

    Thanks for the history lesson, what's your point? Do you feel Gronk is more deserving of the honor than others? If so, why?

    No, it just seems like your point was that there was some conspiracy to put a Patriot on the cover by taking away the fan vote, but in reality they had 10 years to put a Pat on the cover before fan votes had they really wanted to.

    As for who is most deserving, they put the guy on the cover who they think will sell games, and it would not surprise me if Gronk would sell more games than Von, so from that sense I have no issue with it.

    No, my point was that Gronk is on the cover and they dropped the vote. I think there are more deserving players. Period.

    There is no hard evidence to say that sales increase with whose on the cover. Gronk being on the cover won't sell more games.

    Here's an article from April 19, 2011:
