2018: Keon Hatcher, Drew Morgan, Rawleigh Williams, and Austin Allen

The newest version of the games has three players on the cover: Michigan running back Donovan Edwards, Texas quarterback Quinn Ewers, and Colorado's two-way player Travis Hunter. Arkansas's 2018 cover would look similar. 

The 2016 season didn't have a single standout like the previous season. However, four offensive players accounted for over half of the offense. Austin Allen threw for over 3,430 his first year as the starter and recorded a 25:15 touchdown to interception ratio. 

The stars around Allen, like Rawleigh Williams III, Drew Morgan, and Keon Hatcher, also earn spots. Williams took the reins from Alex Collins seamlessly, rushing for 1,360 yards and 5.6 yards per carry for 12 touchdowns. His performances against Ole Miss and Mississippi State helped the Hogs sweep the Mississippi school with 180 and 205-yard games, respectively.

Morgan and Hatcher were a dynamic duo on the outside. They hauled in 109 balls for a combined 1,482 yards. Hatcher was the long option, averaging 16.9 yards a reception and eight touchdowns. On the other hand, Morgan was the dink-and-dunk option with the lion's share of the receptions (65) and 11.4 yards per catch.

A great example where all four came together for a win is Arkansas's double-overtime game against TCU.
