So with all the new football games coming out Tom Brady finally gets one of his own. Superbowl MVP Tom Brady is named the cover player for the #1 kids football video game Backyard Football ‘08, which is slated to be released this Fall.

OK so he didn’t get the cover of Madden or 2K, but hey it could be worse, he could be doing info-mercials for hair products and Backyard Football is actually a pretty fun game, although very cutesy. It will be scheduled to realease on the Wii, DS, PC and PS2.

From the press release:

August 8, 2007, New York - Humongous, Inc. announced today that Tom Brady, New England Patriots all-star quarterback and two-time Super Bowl MVP, will be the cover athlete for Backyard Football ‘08, the newest iteration of the best-selling kid’s football game franchise. Brady was overwhelmingly voted “favorite NFL player” in a poll of Backyard Sports fans conducted late last year on backyardsports.com.

“I am very excited to be part of the Backyard Football team,” said Brady. “Working with kids is always great and representing Backyard Football is a fantastic way to introduce the fun of the game to the next generation of fans. I especially like seeing myself and other pro players as kids in the game-it’s really funny and brings back great memories of playing football as a child.”
