everyone predicted either troy smith, russell, Brady Quin, or Calvin Johnson, and dont get me wrong zabransky was a really good college football player but I just I cant see him on the cover, I thought Calvin Johnson would have been a good fit

that's a great pick that no one thought of. boise state was one of the biggest if not the biggest stories last season so i'd say it's appropriate.

Who?? I guess the national championship game didn't just hurt Troy Smith's draft status, it also cost him the EA cover. http://www.3604free.com/index.php?ref=3756895

Why is it stupid? I think it is great to have him on the cover.

Well, I hope this means even more trick/gadget plays, at least for the Boise State playbook. I like the pick of Zabransky for the poise he showed in college, plus a cool sounding last name: Zabransky. If he becomes a star in the NFL (extremely doubtful, I know), they'll be calling him "Jay-Z" on SportsCenter. That's a good time right there.

I am shocked I thought Troy would be on it.  Oh well just makes forgetting about the National Championship game easier for me this fall when I get my copy.

good, i'm kinda sick of all the media hoopla surrounding troy smith, and brady quinn. EA is pretty damn smart for picking a "neutral" team, like Boise State, who's no one really give a crap about except they went 13-0. this is good for me and fan in the midwest, where we hold our team pretty high up!!! i wish it was tedd ginn but this is a better business decision

actually it was Ian Johnson, the running back who proposed to his girlfriend, not Zabransky. As for the cover pick, I'm suprised but I like the pick. Hopefully there will be some more gadget plays.

I'm really happy for Zabransky and the BS program. This is going to do a lot more for them than it would for the other, already established, programs. Classy choice, EA.
