Rob Gronkowski and Odell Beckham Jr. were on ESPN's Bristol campus Wednesday as the finalists of the 2016 "Madden" Cover Vote. Spoiler alert: OBJ won and simultaneously became the youngest player to receive the nod. He also took the burden of the Madden Curse off Richard Sherman's back ... if you believe in such things.
Anyway, we seized the opportunity to spend some quality time with the two NFL stars. In an attempt to get to know the men behind insane one-handed catches and spiked football celebrations, we asked the hard-hitting questions. You know, like what their spirit animals are. Yeah, as if you hadn't been wondering.
