It's official, the next Madden cover athlete will be the New York Giants' wide-out, Odell Beckham Jr.

For the last two weeks Madden fans have been voting on which NFL player they want on the cover of Madden 16 and on SportsCenter today it was announced that Beckham Jr. beat out finalist Rob Gronkowski, and the other two candidates, Patrick Peterson and Antonio Brown.
