By the end of the weekend the last class of players that were in the popular NCAA Football video game will be exported to the NFL.
The last freshman class to appear in the NCAA Football video game, which EA Sports ceased production of after its 2014 version due to a $60 million settlement over using the likeness of college athletes, completed its fifth year, for those who were redshirt-seniors, last season.
All of the fifth-year players at the NFL Combine, the last class to be "in the game," said they missed the NCAA Football video game after it went away, including Virginia quarterback Kurt Benkert, who said he was among the more than 24,000 former college football and basketball players to collect money in the settlement of the Ed O'Bannon lawsuit.
