NCAA Football 13 Cover Athlete - RG III

11:06 PM - February 26, 2012 by Watson

Based off a tweet from @1660ESPN, it looks like RG III will be the NCAA Football 13 cover athlete. Let's hope it is not up to vote again this year, with multiple candidates.

	With a photo shoot in the offing, I can confirm that Robert Griffin III will be on the cover of EA Sports NCAA Football 2013 this year.

Never said it was a hot bed. But it is more deserving that a "C" grade:
2009 - 2nd overall pick, Jason Smith
2011 - 21st overall pick, Phil Taylor
2011 - 23rd overall pick, Danny Watkins
2012 - 2nd overall pick *, RGIII
2012 - 15th overall pick *, Kendel Wright
*= where the experts beileve these guys will be picked.

they also released the official release day:

NCAA� Football 13, set to hit retail shelves on Tuesday, July 10. In addition to RG3, a fellow Heisman Trophy winner will appear on the cover of NCAA Football 13 based on a fan vote.

Having two Heisman winners on the cover makes me think that they're going to revamp the Heisman presentation in 13. Maybe including a ceremony or something like that. Similar to what the cover athlete hinted at when they had Jared Zabransky on it and they included a bunch of trick plays that year.

Oh god him on the cover

Not the smartest pick by the Browns for Phil Taylor. But I do think a boost is needed. Just don't make Baylor a 4* next year. That would really **** up my OD next year.

Players go to schools because of coaches all the time. And they decommit for the same reason. I don't think that's a valid argument.

And what's wrong with "him". He was CLEARLY the MVP of college football this season.

Complately agree. About P Taylor and the BU 4*. By no means are we some powerhouse - we're just not the same old Baylor of the 2000's.

DANGIT!!!!!!!!!!! I can't wait for this game to come out. And I'll probably be disappointed again.

Jesus, I hope it's not indicative of a "revamp" of RTG - they just did that and it's still pretty bad. Hopefully it's just a presentational element in dynasty (which needs significant upgrades).

Dude, RG3 was one of the most efficient and accurate QB's in the history of college football this season. He just happens to be incredibly fast too.

Again, hopefully not an "upgraded" RTG, but EA bringing back magazine covers w/our players and a Heisman presentation + relevant commentary.

As for the second cover athlete, I hope it's Sanders or Herschel Walker.

Herschel Walker

That would be great, however......how many people who are on Facebook that will be voting will even know who that is ? They weren't even born when he played....

So hopefully EA puts up a highlight series for each of the candidates to help out the younger generation. If not, we going to be hearing a whole lot of who is that ?????? I need to google him or even worse.....they going to be too lazy to google and just vote on the school they came from instead of the actual player and what they did in college football.

# 52 cubsfan1913 @ 02/27/12 04:35 PM

RGIII is official but they are also letting people vote on who else is on there with him

Everything you said sound like Eddie George will be on the cover. I can live with that.

Fantastic choice IMO, bravo on this one EA. Now make a game worthy of RGIII!

# 55 44drob @ 02/27/12 06:04 PM

YESSSSS !!!! HAHA NICE INDEED

# 56 husker_diehard @ 02/27/12 06:04 PM

Mike Rozier needs to be in the voting for the former Heisman winner

He had 4,293 yards passing and only 699 rushing. 6th in the nation in passing yards and #2 in passer rating.

# 58 TripleCrown9 @ 02/27/12 06:46 PM

I guess I should have said mobile, since making plays with his legs means scrambling out of the pocket for more time. Running doesn't always mean taking off at the sign of trouble.

# 59 RoudybushONU @ 02/27/12 06:49 PM

second Brownie to make it on a EA Sports cover, love'n it.

Rushing used to account for more of his total yardage, but he had definitely become primarily a passer the last two seasons. In 2008, he ranked 70th nationally in passing yardage (2091) and 66th in rushing (846). In 2011, he ranked 6th nationally in passing (4293) and 109th in rushing (699).
