Williams made history as the first Chicago Bears quarterback ever to be featured on the iconic game cover.
Williams got a chance to play the game on Thursday night at Navy Pier during the official reveal party, battling fellow Heisman winner Cam Newton.
The game itself will not be released until August, but Williams' part in its promotion says a lot about how he is viewed around the league as he heads into just his third season.
After two editions in the booth, Kirk Herbstreit is out of EA Sports College Football 27.
According to On3, ESPNβs lead college football voice is out of the gameβs booth for the third edition of the relaunched franchise, which is due out in July. He appeared in both College Football 25 and 26 as part of the βBig Gameβ broadcast team alongside Chris Fowler. That pairing is done, at least in this form.
The previous iteration in the series, NCAA Football 14, featured Brad Nessler and Herbstreit in the booth with Davis and Pollack in the studio. College Football 25 and 26 featured an expanded cast around them, and whether EA turns to someone already in that mix β like Jesse Palmer β or goes outside the existing roster remains to be seen.
On3 also has the cover athletes. The standard edition features Oregon quarterback Dante Moore, Ole Miss running back Kewan Lacy, and Miami wide receiver Malachi Toney. The deluxe edition goes with USC quarterback Jayden Maiava, Notre Dame cornerback Leonard Moore, and Indiana head coach Curt Cignetti. The official cover drops Tuesday, early access begins July 2, and among the new features expected are a revamped Dynasty Mode, dynamic weather, and updated announcer presentation.
