NCAA Football 10 Cover Athlete Speculation

With EA Sports holding an NCAA Football 10 event in NY leading up to the NFL Draft it would only make sense that the cover athletes of the four versions of the game would be in town. Last year all of them (Matt Ryan, Darren McFadden, DeSean Jackson, and Owen Schmidt) were in attendance along with a few others.

The following players have been invited by the NFL to attend the draft: Matthew Stafford, Josh Freeman, Brian Cushing, Aaron Curry, Michael Crabtree, Eugene Monroe, Michael Oher, Brian Orakpo, and Jason Smith. Mark Sanchez has turned the invite down.

This doesn’t mean they are the only players that will be in NY, nor does it exclude anyone who might fly in and then back home. Regardless it is interesting to look at that list and wonder if it could provide insight into who will be on the covers. Knowing Sanchez decided against attending makes me think he won’t be one of them.

At this point my prediction for the covers is to feature Curry, Crabtree, Stafford, and with a wildcard being Pat White or Beanie Wells. What four players are you expecting to be announced as the cover athletes this year?

    I think you might be right with your picks. Moreno would make for another good possibility.

    Pasta has it right because he has a LB, QB, RB, and a WR.

    It's scary enough that somehow Josh Freeman is expected to go in the first round. If he ends up an NCAA cover athlete, I think my head would explode.

    I hope Stafford doesn't get a cover… But I'm sure he will… I hope Crabtree or Curry will be on the 360 cover…

    i really hope pat white is on the cover, he is a great athlete all around. Everyone underates how well he throws the ball. The great thing about this is that he must really love football. He has been drafted into the MLB several times. He is a great athlete and in my opinion should be on the cover after leading the mountaineers to 4 straight bowl victories including 2 BCS bowls

    Remember Pasta, last year Owen Schmidt wasn't exactly on the top of anyone's list, so I wouldn't be surprised if they picked a sleeper to go with the other big names.

    Ian Johnson, Graham Harrell, or maybe James Laurinaitas (just to appeal to all the rich Buckeye fans) would all fit into that category.

      Yeah I was thinking that as a possibility, one of the offensive lineman maybe. Would the PSP have a big name guy? Last year being Schmidt maybe not but he still had a pretty big following.

    Crabtree's gotta be a shoo-in for 360.
    They will take a QB for PS3 so either Stafford, Sanchez, or White.
    PS2 will be Moreno.
    Curry will be on the PSP

      no white could not have been beause he still would have been in college and you have to have left college the previous year.

    Michael Crabtree will be on either the 360 or PS3 cover no doubt. I think Matthew Stafford will be the other. I don't know about the PSP or PS2 versions.

    At Blockbuster here in Atlanta. They have a dummy cover with Graham Harrell on the cover for x-box. I dont know if that means anything but thought I would share that with the board.
