VICK
That's right, shortly removed from being the most hated man in all of sports, Vick has a shot to dawn the cover of Football's most prestigious gaming series. After taking over for Mr. Upside Kevin Kolb two games into the season, Vick combined his rare athleticism with a balanced passing approach (and the occasional 90 yard heave to Desean Jackson) to register one of the greatest single-season turn arounds in football history.
HILLIS
And then there's Hillis who going into the 2010 NFL season was virtually unknown. After taking over for fantasy bust Jerome Harrison, Hillis went on to have an MVP season for the Browns and became the universal answer to the age old trivia question, are there any white running backs in the NFL? Fun Fact: Prior to transferring from the University of Arkansas Hillis shared the backfield with current Oakland Raider Darren McFadden and current Dallas Cowboy Felix Jones (talk about a backfield).
PREDICTION
My prediction is Vick. He's gotten this far in the contest, there is obviously some cult internet following that are inflating the votes to land Vick on the cover. I can also predict if Vick comes out on top (Vick also dawned the '04 Madden cover then as an Atlanta Falcon) there will be plenty of media and internet backlash to follow. So pretty much this story is just beginning.
Winner is set to be revealed live on ESPN2's SportsNation April 27th at 4 pm
