DeSean Jackson inadvertently revealed as PS2 NCAA Football 09 cover athlete

While the news of the PS2 cover athlete for NCAA Football 09 wasn’t expected to come for a few more weeks, Gamefly has accidentally let the secret slip that WR DeSean Jackson from California has gotten the cover. He now joins Matt Ryan (PS3), Darren McFadden (360), and Sparty (Wii) as the console specific covers. The PSP is expected to be shown off in May.

In an interesting coincidence I actually got to play DeSean Jackson in a game of NCAA 09 at the event this evening. Look for some details on that in an upcoming writeup.

    Well pasta isn’t going to give you credit. He’s going to pick and choose who he does, or may not even do that and post news as if he’s the one who broke the story. I’ve seen him do it before. lol

    I’d rather it be the other way around. Jackso to be the PS3 cover and Ryan the PS2 cover since I have a PS3 an will have to see his overrated face(Ryan) everytime I turn on the game.

    Agreed. Overrated is an understatement.

    well the final cover for the Wii version was revealed last night but thats it. Its a different team that works on that game than the guys that were out here. I’m not sure when we’ll hear some on that but I’ll try and find out over the coming weeks.

    I am sure it was a “slip”. Regardless of whomever broke the story, EA was the group that let this “slip.”

    Hey! Look at it this way ya’ll. At least we can’t be feeling sorry about this surprising news we just heared. But we should be very happy about this season’s game and let the facts played out all by itself. But for yours truly, I’m so ready for the release of the game & I’m so ready for the new season of college football. Peace!

    Yes I am aware of that. All im saying is that I found it on gamefly and posted it on OS before it was here. Pasta may have done the same thing and not know I posted it there. Doesn’t really matter to me.

    ok to make it clear it will be for every system but they will probably not do it for pc considering madden and nba live are doing for next year

    Is it not funny that several people agreed the Matt Ryan is "Way Overrated" and now he's considered an MVP candidate?
