Rob Gronkowski is in the running to be, as far as gamers are concerned, one of the faces of the NFL this season.
The Patriots tight end was one of four finalists to be considered for EA Sports' Madden NFL 16, and now he's been selected as one of the final two candidates. The choice between Gronkowski and Giants receiver Odell Beckham Jr. will be announced Wednesday at 6 p.m. Voting is still ongoing.
The other two candidates originally considered were Steelers wideout Antonio Brown and and Cardinals corner Patrick Peterson.
