New England Patriots TE Rob Gronkowski wants to be on Madden NFL 13 cover - NFL News
New England Patriots tight end, Rob Gronkowski, maybe rehabilitating from ankle surgery but that has not stopped him from making an all-out effort to get onto the cover of EA Sports upcoming addition to the famous Madden series.
The video game series latest addition Madden 13 is set to be released this year but before that EA Sports in conjunction with SportsNation have started a fan vote to select one player out of two from each franchise who will then match up against each other
to get onto the coveted cover.
For New England Patriots wide receiver, Wes Welker, and Gronkowski are duking it out to represent the franchise and Gronkowski wants nothing more than to get the honour.
The tight end released a YouTube video on Monday urging fans to vote him in to become the next player on the cover.
Gronkowski sitting on a couch while resting his injured leg is shown telling fans of his dedication on the field and off it.
“It's just not because of the dedication on the field, but it's also because of the dedication off the field! Hard workers at all times! LET'S GO, BRO!"
With his brother weighing down the crutches Gronkowski does some curls and continues.
“Doing curls, busted ankle, cast on it -- IT DON'T STOP ME! Just getting jacked at all times, going crazy!"
Two more of his brothers get in on the action shown on camera to be exercising while one shouts at the camera to vote for Gronkowski to make the 2013 Madden cover.
The camera pans back to the tight end who says.
“Now that’s why you should vote me for Madden 13 cover...”
He then asks his fans to
“Get hyped! And Get Gronked!”
The voting to select the 32-players who will make it into the second round will continue till March 21st on SportsNations official Facebook page.
Gronkowski was brilliant during the Patriots run to the Super Bowl XLVI as he became one of quarterback Tom Brady’s favourite weapons.
The tight end scored 17-touchdowns in the regular season while notching up 1,327 receiving yards from 90 receptions.
His heroics have made him a firm fan favourite although his ill advised partying right after the Patriots defeat in the Super Bowl did lead to criticism over his attitude.
Hopefully Gronkowski could make it to the cover and continue his wonderful performances while putting an end to the infamous Madden Curse once and for all.
