Madden ‘12 Cover: Patrick Willis vs. The 12th Man

Mar 21, 2011 at 1:55 PM--


This year's Madden video game cover will be determined by the fans. ESPN.com has a bracket up (who doesn't love brackets?) and are letting fans vote for the next Madden cover representative in a March Madness style system.

The San Francisco 49ers' player is none other than linebacker Patrick Willis. He is facing off against ... wait for it ... Seattle Seahawks representative, The 12th Man.

When you are done laughing, you may want to head over to ESPN and vote for Patrick Willis. While it is doubtful that he will win the whole tournament, and I am sure fans do not want the Madden curse to hit the NFL's best middle linebacker and 49ers fan favorite, you have to head over to vote for him so he does not get knocked out by The 12th Man.

The Seahawks are the only team that do not have an actual player representing them in this contest. They might just as well have put in Blitz, the team mascot.

Mike McGlinchey received a life-changing payday, signing a five-year, $87.5 million deal with the Denver Broncos. The offensive tackle has known for a while that he would not return to the San Francisco 49ers, the only NFL team he has played for and the one that made him the No. 9 overall pick in 2018. General manager John Lynch and head coach Kyle Shanahan made it clear to McGlinchey that he was likely playing his final months for the team. There was too much money invested in other spots, and the 49ers knew they couldn't compete with other interested teams. Behind the scenes, Lynch and Shanahan kept McGlinchey in the loop of what the team was thinking, and everything pointed to the tackle playing elsewhere in 2023 … maybe even

Brock Purdy can begin throwing again sometime in June. The San Francisco 49ers quarterback is expected to be ready to hit the field—practice or in-game—sometime in September. Purdy is recovering from surgery to repair the tear of the ulnar collateral ligament (UCL) in his right elbow, an injury sustained in the NFC Championship Game against the Philadelphia Eagles.
