ESPN.com users have spoken and the face of Madden NFL 12 will be Cleveland Browns running back Peyton Hillis. Hillis was announced Wednesday as the winner of the fan vote, under way since March 21, on ESPN2's "SportsNation." The 10th-seeded Hillis overwhelmingly defeated Philadelphia Eagles quarterback Michael Vick, seeded third, garnering 66 percent of the vote in the final of the 32-player bracket and will be on the cover of this year's version of the popular NFL video game franchise. Hillis beat Baltimore Ravens running back Ray Rice (No. 7 seed), Atlanta Falcons quarterback Matt Ryan (No. 2), Kansas City Chiefs running back Jamaal Charles (No. 6) and No. 1 seeded Green Bay Packers quarterback and Super Bowl MVP Aaron Rodgers to get to the finals.

The Packers fans had to be voting against the curse for him to get past Aaron Rodgers. I'm not surprised he beat Vick though.
Lets be honest, all fans voted against the player of their team. I know I voted against Bradford every time. Kinda feel good and bad though for Hillis, good that he's getting the respect and publicity he deserves, but bad that he's now got that curse riding on his shoulders.
