final round of the Madden NFL 25 Cover Vote. The stage is set
for an epic showdown as two of the greatest running backs of all
time square-off. Voting highlights from the semifinals include:

It’s all too fitting that the Madden NFL 25 Cover Vote Finals
come down to Barry Sanders and Adrian Peterson, two of the
greatest running backs in NFL history. Sanders has cemented his
place in NFL history with his 18,000 career yards, while
Peterson came within nine yards of breaking Eric Dickerson’s
single season rushing record last year. Making the feat even
more impressive, Peterson had his incredible year after coming
back from surgery for a torn ACL in the offseason.
