Hillis is Madden cover boy

As we reported yesterday, Browns RB Peyton Hillis completed his surprising run through EA Sports' "Madden NFL 12" fan vote bracket to win the game cover honor over Eagles QB Michael Vick.

The final vote was 66% to 34% in favor of the Cleveland running back and the selection was announced live on ESPN2's "SportsNation."

Hillis today will take part in a long promotional schedule in New York, including shooting the cover photo in the morning, attending a pre-draft luncheon held by the NFL, reading the Top 10 list on CBS' "Late Show" during the late afternoon taping and announcing the Browns' first-round selection at the NFL Draft at Radio City Music Hall.

Here are a few videos from Hillis' new life as the Madden cover athlete:
