Patrick Mahomes has gone from playing the Madden video game with his dad to being on the cover.Electronic Arts announced Thursday that the Kansas City quarterback and reigning NFL MVP will grace the cover of “Madden NFL 20” when it is released Aug. 2. The announcement was made before the first round of the NFL draft.“It is awesome and definitely a full circle moment for me Brandon Bolden Jerseys 2019 ,” Mahomes said during an interview with The Associated Press before the cover was revealed.In his first season as the Chiefs‘ starting QB, Mahomes threw for 5,097 yards and 50 touchdowns during the regular season and led them to the AFC championship game for the first time since 1993. He began last season with an overall Madden rating of 77 but finished the season with a 94.Mahomes said he was approached by Electronic Arts prior to the Pro Bowl in late January about appearing on the cover. He also has given a lot of input on the development of the Face of the Franchise: QB1 feature that will be in this year’s game.The feature allows players to create their own quarterback to play through the College Football Playoff, NFL combine, draft and career with a team.“It has been great to be able to discuss my experiences going through everything, especially the draft process, and to see how that will develop in the game,” Mahomes said.Mahomes, who is an avid video game player, said games like Madden have become more realistic and that the same concept of reading a playbook applies to learning football.Players have appeared on the Madden cover since 1999. Mahomes is the eighth quarterback to be featured on the Madden cover and the second in the past three years. New England’s Tom Brady was on the cover two years ago.Appearing on the cover has also had a stigma attached at times. Most of the cover athletes during the first 10 years suffered significant injuries the year they appeared. Recently retired Patriots tight end Rob Gronkowski was the most recent player to be beset by injuries when he started only six games in 2016.Wide receiver Antonio Brown, who was traded from Pittsburgh to Oakland during the offseason, was on the cover last year.

Despite that, the team opted to add another piece to it by trading up and drafting Vanderbilt’s Joejuan Williams with the 45th overall selection on Friday.Shortly after hearing his name called, the 21-year-old went on a conference call with the New England media to speak about his experience and what he will bring to the table. Listening to him speak, one of the attributes that stand out right away is Williams’ confidence: the rookie, who has uncharacteristic length for a player at his position, certainly knows about his skills and productivity in college.“I feel like I have the complete package: I can run, cover and hit,” Williams said when asked about his best attributes as a defensive back. “At the end of the day, if you look at all of my numbers in the SEC, I was ranked first in everything, whether it was passes defended, pass breakups, interceptions as a corner Ryan Allen Jerseys 2019 , solo tackles as a corner. So, I feel like that complete package is what I bring to the team.”Williams’ outspoken nature extends beyond confidence, however, and is also what made him a leader at Vanderbilt by his own definition. “I definitely consider myself a leader,” he said. “I feel like for me, I led by example. I led by actions. I’m not the type that’s going to yell and get in your face about anything. I want to lead by action, I want to lead by making plays.”Pats Pulpit reacts to the Joejuan Williams pickSubscribe to the Pats Pulpit podcast for more draft reactions!Making plays Williams did in college — in part because of his intriguing skill set but also because of his versatility: the second-round selection has lined up in various spots for the Commodores, even though the team kept him on the perimeter for most of 2018. “Last year the coaches wanted me primarily at the boundary by the end of the year and that’s what I did,” the new Patriot told the press.“At the end of the day, I’ll do whatever the coaches say. I feel like I can contribute anywhere,” he added. In New England, Williams will likely wear numerous hats: he could play a Brandon Browner-esque role as a tall, physical outside cornerback, move inside to help cover tight ends White James Develin Jerseys , and contribute in the kicking game as well. And in order to successfully do all his tasks, Williams knows what he has to do: pick the brains of the players surrounding him.One of those is the aforementioned Stephon Gilmore. “Whatever I can get from him, I plan on picking it,” said Williams. “At the end of the day, he’s one of the best in the league and I want to be one of the best in the league. I have to learn from the greats and whatever he does — eating, sleeping, nutrition, treatment — I want to pick from him and try to get that off his game. From playbook to life, that’s something I want to learn because I want to be one of the greats just like him.”Williams’ eagerness to learn also can be seen in his commitment to the sport. “I watch film like I watch Games of Thrones or something,” said the second-round selection who also said that he wanted to go into coaching one day. “That’s just who I am. Football runs in my blood. That’s definitely how I work.”
