Everyone is excited for the return of EA Sports NCAA23, and Georgia football quarterback Stetson Bennett is the only logical option for the cover.
There will be people who think Alabama’s Bryce Young or Ohio State’s CJ Stroud would make better cover models, but there is something about the Mailman that screams NCAA23 cover model.
Bennett’s national championship run with the Dawgs is a Cinderella story, so why not make him the poster child for the return of the best video game ever?
Not to mention statistically, he was one of the best quarterbacks in the country and could do it again this season, so it’s lining up perfectly. He doesn’t have to be the Heisman Trophy winner to brace the cover because he is a champion in his own right.
Georgia football quarterback Stetson Bennett is the perfect option for the cover of NCAA23.
Bennett is a stud. He has the moxy and confidence of a great quarterback, so tell me why he shouldn’t be on the cover. Bennett is the ultimate team player who goes to war for his guys, and that is the kind of leader any football team would want.
Features expected to be included in EA's new College Football game, per @247Sports:

Stats don’t always matter, especially in this situation. A video game cover is all about the hot shot player, and Bennett is always getting talked about — at least the last few seasons he has been.
Bennett led his team to glory and helped end a 41-year drought. He showed Dawg Nation a title could actually happen, and while that defense helped, the offense did its part too — Bennett especially.
The cover could feature the Mailman banner that the Georgia paint line took to the national championship and Bennett holding that trophy, looking at it like it was the love of his life. It would be an epic cover that would sell off the shelves.
Using Young, Stroud, or anyone similar would be too obvious as the cover choice. However, picking Bennett would be wild enough that college football fans would appreciate the cover. It’s a genius idea to throw Bennett on the NCAA23 cover because we all know Georgia is taking over college football, and they might as well jump on the train early.
