April 25, 2010 - The paint hasn't finished drying on the 2010 NFL Draft and I'm sure the new group of rookies is still getting used to the thought of playing somewhere other than their alma mater, but none of that is stopping the developers at EA Sports' Tiburon studio from inserting this year's rookie class into Madden NFL 11.

The first of these heralded, newly-made millionaires to make their way into EA Sports' perennial pro footballer is quarterback Tim Tebow, first-round draft pick (25th overall) of the Denver Broncos and former Florida Gator.

Tebow was expected to go as late as the 4th round, but somehow, perhaps because of the interview we shot with the former Florida Gator for NCAA Football 11, Tim wound up going in the first round and was the second quarterback chosen overall. Impressive when you consider that there were four quality QBs in this year's draft, including the first overall pick Sam Bradford as well as Jimmy Clausen and Colt McCoy.

We'll have more on Madden NFL 11 as soon as possible. Check back to IGN.com for more as Madden's August 10 release date nears on Xbox 360, PlayStation 3, PlayStation 2, PlayStation Portable and Wii.
