Calvin Johnson wins Madden vote

[Renew Deal]

Fresh off a mega contract, Calvin "Megatron" Johnson has landed the coveted cover of "Madden NFL 13."

The Detroit Lions wideout beat out second-year Panthers quarterback Cam Newton for the honor. The vote was announced Wednesday afternoon on "SportsNation" on ESPN2.

Johnson, who won by garnering 52 percent of the more than 651,000 votes cast in the competition, said he was "shocked" by the decision.

"Man, it's great," a smiling Johnson said. "Just to see yourself on this Madden (cover) and seeing all the guys that have been on Madden? C'mon, man."

I think he has a great future in the NFL.

Once Gronk was out of the running for the Madden cover I wasn't too concerned...
