Future NFL Stars Talk Video Games
Video game giant EA was in New York during the NFL Draft to celebrate the not-so-coincidentally-timed announcements of its 'Madden 08' and 'NCAA Football 08' cover athletes. Titans chucker Vince Young will ham it up on the 'Madden' cover when it's released in August, but college honors went to Boise State QB, Jared Zabransky. We caught up with Zabransky, as well as some his fellow NCAA cohorts, to ask them about the upcoming video game.

What was it like when you found out you were going to be on the cover of 'NCAA Football'?
I was in Hawaii at the time. I got a call telling me that I'm the front runner and I was totally ecstatic. It was something you never really think about when you're a kid because you see all these people on the cover, but when it happens it's like a dream come true. It's like a dream you never dreamt of.
When you play this game, how many times are you going to run the Statue of Liberty play?
Every play, if it works.
What's the whole experience been like for you?
It's been a whirlwind. Ever since the Fiesta Bowl it's been a total 180 for me. I was under the radar the whole time and then that happens, you know, and Boise State and myself blow up and I'm just kind of soaking it all in. I'm totally humbled by the entire experience.
What's it going to be like for Boise State next season?
I think they're going do well. Every year we get doubted because they say we lose too many players to be able to regroup. But, we're getting more and more like a top five program to where we can rebuild and reload. So, I think they're going to be good.
