Will Cam Newton be on the cover of Madden NFL 17? He is one of three players with the highest probability to make the cover, which is scheduled to be announced Thursday. Newton, J.J. Watt and Von Miller are widely considered the favorites to land on the cover. Those other two are great players, but how do you not put last season’s MVP on the cover?

MORE FREE AGENCY: The second wave of NFL free agency is coming. And there are still some solid players available.
