The Madden NFL franchise holds a special place in popular culture and the cover is a coveted position for players all over the league. I'm honored to be the first cover athlete chosen by Madden NFL fans and it's a great way to cap off an amazing year for the Saints and the city of New Orleans.

Under pressure, would I fold and disappear, or would I show everyone that when bad things happen, you fight?

I was brought here [New Orleans] for a reason. I feel like I can make a tremendous impact, not only with the team but in the community.

Each and every year I feel like I've gotten a little bit better and that's always been my goal, was just to get a little bit better

I'm a very modest person.

When you care about a guy beyond just the field, that's when the chemistry becomes really special.
