- Troy BallardRobert Griffin III continues to impress -- leading Baylor out of the dark ages, winning the Heisman Trophy, running a killer 4.41 40-time at the combine, and his latest achievement -- landing the cover of NCAA Football 13.
We here at Beard and Stache did a prediction on the top possible candidates for the cover, and pegged RG3 from the get-go.
Unlike last year's game where EA Sports allowed fans to vote for the cover athlete, (it ended up being Mark Ingram - and Cam Newton was not even included in the running), the producers decided on Griffin III without any input.
However, fans of the game will still get to voice their opinion! In NCAA 13 -- as indicated by the gray shadow behind RG3 -- EA Sports will include a former Heisman Trophy winner to accompany him on the cover.
Our bets for players that could possibly accompany Griffin III on the cover:
- Cam Newton, Quarterback, Auburn, (Carolina Panthers)
- Mark Ingram, Running Back, Alabama, (New Orleans Saints)
- Tim Tebow, Quarterback, Florida, (Denver Broncos)
- Sam Bradford, Quaterback, Oklahoma, (St. Louis Rams)
These are all former Heisman Trophy winners over the past four-years, and beyond that, the players start to get a touch outdated. EA Sports could also take another angle and nominate a retro player from the 70's or 80's.
EA Sports may have eliminated the primary voting for the cover athlete, but still added an interesting angle by bringing in a former Heisman Trophy winner. Voting for the cover begins March 12 on NCAA 13's Facebook page.
