Deshaun Watson, Texans (90 overall): Watson moved up from eighth last season and an 86 rating after a season where he threw for an NFL-best 4,823 yards along with 33 touchdowns and seven interceptions. He's also perhaps the most fun player to use in the game because of his combination of throwing and running.Ħ. The 96 acceleration makes him devastating to face. His 96 speed would place him second among running backs and tied for seventh among receivers. Jackson is the player more than any other in the game who can make it breakable - a la Michael Vick in the early 2000s - so there has to be some balance even with a 92 throw power and 91 throw under pressure. He drops from third in the rankings and a 94 rating to fifth and 91 this season. Lamar Jackson, Ravens (94 overall): Last season's cover athlete, Jackson is always a tricky build. Based off who is ahead of him, at some point he's likely to end up as the No. He did throw a career-worst 13 interceptions. Wilson played as he always does in 2020, completing a career-high 68.8% of his passes for 4,212 yards and a career-best 40 touchdowns. That has little to do with him, though, and perhaps more to do with Brady and Rodgers. Russell Wilson, Seahawks (94 overall): Wilson took a dip this year in both ranking and rating, going from second and 97 overall to fourth and 94. He's the best deep passer in the game (95) and has top-five throw power (94).Ĥ. Not an issue this time as he has continued to cement himself as one of the best in real life and Madden.
Aaron Rodgers, Packers (96 overall): The NFL MVP could have a case for being a 99 or being ahead of Brady on this list, but Rodgers returns to a massively high rating after starting last year sixth and an 89 overall - the first time in over 10 years he had been below a 90.
On the cover for the second time, don't be surprised if he once again ends up as a 99 at some point this year. His speed still stinks (59) but in terms of making throws he's one of the best, tops in short accuracy (99) and mid accuracy (97) while being third in deep accuracy (93). Brady jumps from fourth to second and from a 90 to a 97 after leading Tampa Bay to the Super Bowl. One thing remains: Tom Brady as one of the top quarterbacks in the NFL and in Madden. Tom Brady, Buccaneers (97 overall): Platforms change. He also has decent speed (81) and is the best in the game at throwing on the run (98).Ģ. Mahomes is in the top three in every major statistical rating: 97 in throw power (second), 97 in short accuracy (second), 93 in mid accuracy (third), 94 in deep accuracy (second) and 96 in throwing under pressure (first). He also has been the cover athlete two of three years, a rarity.
He's the highest-rated quarterback for the third straight year and a 99 for the second consecutive season.
Patrick Mahomes, Chiefs (99 overall): This is a no-brainer. But even veterans, as they switch teams, garner attention because more than any other position, what the quarterback is rated will often matter the most as they are the faces of the league.ġ. It's among the toughest builds every year for the ratings crew, especially with rookies. Should Brady, coming off a Super Bowl win, still be a 97 overall ahead of Aaron Rodgers? Is Josh Allen ranked high enough? And how does the game continue to handle the electric Lamar Jackson, with whom it has to be careful to make sure his abilities don't pull a Michael Vick and break the gameplay realism of Madden. Quarterbacks are the cover boys - Patrick Mahomes and Tom Brady - and the skill sets of certain players are always going to raise some eyebrows. QuarterbacksĪs always, there will be debate. The other four members of the 99 Club: defensive tackle Aaron Donald, cornerback Jalen Ramsey, wide receiver Davante Adams and tight end Travis Kelce.īelow are the top-rated receivers, running backs, quarterbacks, defensive linemen and defensive backs in the game. 20.įive players have perfect 99 ratings this year, led by quarterback Patrick Mahomes, who shares the cover of Madden NFL 22 with Tom Brady. This year's version of the video game will be released worldwide on Aug. Training camps begin for all 32 NFL teams this week, which means Madden NFL 22 season is almost upon us.
