NFL Tour, a new NFL licensed arcade football video game, will be

Each of the NFL Tour cover athlete elects have dominated the
gridiron - Taylor, Freeney and Merriman are currently three of the top
defensive players in the NFL. Jason Taylor, the 2006 NFL defensive
player of the year, has established himself as one of the best
defensive ends of all time with 106 career sacks. The defensive heart
and soul of the 2006 Superbowl Champion Indianapolis Colts, three-time
Pro-Bowler Dwight Freeney is the first Colts player to lead the NFL in
sacks during an NFL season. Shawne Merriman is quickly establishing
himself as one of the best linebackers in the NFL, racking up 27 sacks
in his first two years in the league.

NFL Tour is a new NFL licensed video game that offers players a
fun and engaging experience with the NFL and its talented players.
Gamers will be able to embark on a fictional NFL road show. With real
NFL players as teammates, players will travel across the country to
play against each of the NFL teams in newly designed stadiums. As
players defeat each of the NFL squads, they come one step closer to
winning a NFL contract.
