Who will be the PS3 NCAA Football 09 cover athlete?

Posted April 17th, 2008 at 5:12 pm

On Tuesday I went over the top candidates for the Madden 09 cover. That, along with the PS3 cover of NCAA Football 09, are expected to be announced late next week. With the most obvious cover athlete candidate Darren McFadden already announced as exclusive to the 360 it opens up the opportunity for another high profile player to take the PS3 cover. EA Sports has stated that each cover will represent a different region so with McFadden the south is already taken. Lets look at the most likely candidates.

QBs: Matt Ryan (East), Brian Brohm (Central), Dennis Dixon & Colt Brennan (West)
RBs: Jonathan Stewart (West), Rashard Mendenhall (Central/North)
WRs: DeSean Jackson (West)
Defense: Chris Long (East), Glenn Dorsey (South)

In all likelihood EA will seek another highly recognizable name for the PS3 version. It, along with the 360 version, will by far get the most promotion. In contrast it wouldn’t surprise me if the PS2 cover went to a player from an FCS school. Dorsey can be eliminated due to his proximity to McFadden and EA’s statement that there will be different regions represented on each cover. DeSean Jackson has the best chance at wide receiver and provided excitement on the field but may not be a big enough name.

Look to Matt Ryan, Rashard Mendenhall, and Chris Long as the odds on favorites. They all come from different regions than McFadden and are expected to go in the top 15 of the draft. Mendenhall may be the least likely of the three given that they’ve already selected a running back for the 360 cover and they may want to differentiate between the two.

Generally it would be tough to justify putting a defensive player on the cover of NCAA Football. Only one has even made it and that was Charles Woodson in 1999. Most collegiate defensive players aren’t recognizable to the general public in the way that a QB or RB is. Chris Long has some more exposure though given his dad, Howie, is an NFL Hall of Famer and studio analyst on Fox.

If you go by the ghosted cover art that EA has on the game’s official website the player appears to be a QB. Now, the placeholder cover is usually not the silhouette of the eventual cover athlete. Interestingly though they do have a different one for each of the covers yet to be announced instead of just one generic silhouette. So for the sake of discussion I went through looking at different images of the QBs that may be considered for the cover. It looks as though the two that fit are Matt Ryan and Dennis Dixon, with strong leanings toward Ryan. I especially concentrated on the off-hand which is rather distinctive. Take a look at the two images of the players below. Others such as Brian Brohm and Colt Brennan don’t seem to match up.

So when it comes down to it the PS3 cover athlete will probably boil down to Matt Ryan vs Chris Long. Given the placeholder cover (which may be more than a coincidence here) and the prestige position he plays Ryan tops the list with Long the runner-up.

Dennis Dixon is the prototypical example of what not to draft as an NFL Quarterback. All legs no game. If he goes to the NFL it had better be as a WR b/c he will be just another Mike Vick no talent at QB.

QBing with your legs is just delaying the inevitible. If you got game and a brain between your ears, you don’t need to run for 100 yds a game as a QB. NFL teams will figure you out and pummel you. That is why Vick is sorry. He’s just a mediocre QB with speed.[/quote]

This is the reason why there are quotes…because something truthful like this cant go without it.

FCS

You think an FCS player on PS2?!?!?!??!?!? YEA RIGHT. EA has shown over and over and over again that they don’t care AT ALL about FCS. App. St. who? They probably refuse to accept the fact that the Mich-App. St. game ever happened. Every year the FCS rosters are about 2-4 years out of date depending on the team and ALWAYS the players are rated so incredible bad that a mediocre high school team could beat up on them. Plus on the next-gen consoles EA has truly shown how much they don’t care by not including FCS for THREE straight years. An FCS player as the PS2 cover. Come on man, you know EA better than that.

Why does everyone think that all QB that has the ability to run is going to be the next Mike Vick. When Steve Young first entered the league he was a runner first an passer second until he sent to the 49er’s an flourished in that offense. So you just can’t assume Dixon will suck because of that. When Ryan Leaf came out he was the next great white hope but, turned into the Great White Hopeless.

You are exactly right. Did any of you even watch Dixon this year? He is not just legs, he has a very good arm. It’s strong and accurate. Just to clarify though..if you are a QB and you can run over 100 yards in a game then that means you have no brain and you will suck in the NFL? Maybe you should tell Pryor that so he stops wasting his time playing football. That’s just ridiculous.

Big difference. Steve Young only ran when he had to. He wasn’t running to amass 100yd games. Also Steve Young Actually was a great QB.

Dixon, Vick, etc are mediocre QB’s at best but have the speed of a WR or RB so they can get away with being poor QB’s. I’m sorry but a running QB has never and will never be anything in the NFL. If you can’t make the throws then you won’t win. Period.

Yea Dixon crushed Michigan all by himself this past year, which hurts me to say seeming as how I love the Wolverines, but it’s true. It could have been 11 on 1 and Oregon still would have won. If he hadn’t gotten hurt they might have gone to the National Championship game and he probably would have won the Heisman. He should be at least okay in the NFL. He definitely won’t be another Akili Smith.

Name me one QB in the NFL that has a successful career that primarily runs all the time. There are none. Lets look at some of the greatest QB’s of all time. Marino, Montanna, Elway, Young, Bradshaw, Staubach, Brady, Manning, Favre. I could keep going on but I hope you can see the point. These guys aren’t known for there legs. They are known for there skill at throwing the ball. True Elway and Young had speed but they didn’t rely on it 75% of the time like a vick.

That makes alot of sense not at all. Do you even know what you are talking about

[quote comment="18077"][quote comment="18063"][quote comment="18042"][quote comment="18035"]I hope to god its not Ryan the guy is WAAAAAAAAAAY overrated. If it is a QB let it be Dixon who ws having the better season before he blew his knee out.[/quote]

Dennis Dixon is the prototypical example of what not to draft as an NFL Quarterback. All legs no game. If he goes to the NFL it had better be as a WR b/c he will be just another Mike Vick no talent at QB.

QBing with your legs is just delaying the inevitible. If you got game and a brain between your ears, you don’t need to run for 100 yds a game as a QB. NFL teams will figure you out and pummel you. That is why Vick is sorry. He’s just a mediocre QB with speed.[/quote]
Why does everyone think that all QB that has the ability to run is going to be the next Mike Vick. When Steve Young first entered the league he was a runner first an passer second until he sent to the 49er’s an flourished in that offense. So you just can’t assume Dixon will suck because of that. When Ryan Leaf came out he was the next great white hope but, turned into the Great White Hopeless.[/quote]

Big difference. Steve Young only ran when he had to. He wasn’t running to amass 100yd games. Also Steve Young Actually was a great QB.

Dixon, Vick, etc are mediocre QB’s at best but have the speed of a WR or RB so they can get away with being poor QB’s. I’m sorry but a running QB has never and will never be anything in the NFL. If you can’t make the throws then you won’t win. Period.[/quote]
When Steve Young came into the league all he did was run because that was his best asset, he said so himself when he retired. The only reason he started focusing on his passing game is becuase he got tired of the punishment he was taking by scrambling. LIKE I SAID it was only after he came to San Fran that he became a great passer. He was in Tampa before that an he was strictly a runner first, but his game evoled after time in that system.

[quote comment="18083"]whats with the mike hart love? is it just cause hes from michigan? the guy is projected to go in the late rounds of the draft. there are so many runningbacks who are more exciting than him. rashard mendenhall, jonathan stewart, felix jones, chris johnson, ray rice, jamaal charles, kevin smith, and steve slayton just off the top of my head.[/quote]

Put Harts stats next to the boys you just mentioned, all time Michigan leading rusher and 4 year starter in the Big ten….

Anything is possible, that dude from Boise State was on there… And Troy Smith won the Heisman.

Im from Columbus (Buckeye state), and know that Hart is a pure beast…

Late Rounds means nothing, look up Tom Brady, Jones-Drew, Anqaun Boldin, Antonio Gates (wasnt even drafted) and the list goes on… Dont get caught up in the Mel Kiper dreams bro.
