The announcement came Wednesday after tournament-style, head-to-head voting by fans, 66 percent of whom picked Hillis over Philadelphia Eagles quarterback Michael Vick for the video-game cover. According to ESPN.com, which ran the contest for the EA Sports game, 1,092,352 ballots were cast in the final round.

Hillis told ESPN that he was "excited" about the victory and appreciated the support of Browns fans.

"I just want to tell them thanks and I'm going to play my best for them," he said.

Vick, who appeared on the cover of "Madden NFL 2004," congratulated Hillis on the victory and said, "I made it this far, and that's a plus for me."

Hillis went from a 10th seed in the 32-player contest to become the 15th Madden cover model. Along the way, he also knocked off Green Bay Packers quarterback Aaron Rodgers, the Super Bowl XLV MVP, by a decisive 61 percent-to-39 percent margin.

Hillis defeated Baltimore Ravens running back Ray Rice, Atlanta Falcons quarterback Matt Ryan and Kansas City Chiefs running back Jamaal Charles in previous rounds.
