Rob Gronkowski became the first tight end to grace the cover of the Madden franchise when the image from the 2017 edition of the popular NFL video game was released on Thursday.

While the Patriots star was excited about the honor, the reigning Super Bowl champions were a little confused why a Broncos player was not chosen.

It seems some photoshop savvy Denver fans agreed with the team and did their best to rectify the situation.
