It has been reported by Liz Mullen of the Jacksonville Business Journal that former Florida Gator quarterback Tim Tebow may be close to a deal that will have him featured on the front cover of EA Sports’ NCAA Football 11 video game that will come out this summer.

If Tebow is placed on the front cover, he will be just the second Gator to do so, followed by Heisman Trophy winning QB Danny Wuerffel who was on the cover of NCAA Football 98.

Sandy Sandoval, the senior director of athlete relations for EA Sports told Mullen, “I cannot confirm or deny that.”

Even though Tebow might not be a top draft pick coming in April, there is still no name that could come close to matching him in terms of marketing and recognition. Also, if EA Sports goes down the multi-cover route, some others that would be in the mix would include Ndamakong Suh, Sam Bradford, Jimmy Clausen, C.J. Spiller, and Eric Berry.
