Underdog Rookie Madden ‘20 Ratings

Winter has first snowfall.

Autumn has the unmistakable chatter of disgruntled NFL players lamenting their latest Madden video game ratings.

Hearts are broken.

Feelings are hurt.

Vows are made to never play this game again...

...unless next year’s ratings are better.

Among the most intriguing part of the player ratings release is how America’s most popular video game assesses rookies who have yet to play a single professional snap.

Typically, rookies tend to be rated relative to their draft pick spot and position. This year’s edition is no different. Ed Oliver leads all rookies with a 79 overall rating.

Here’s a sneak peak at all Group of 5 drafted rookies and their Madden ‘20 ratings...
