5 Giants who were given disrespectful ‘Madden 21’ ratings

We debated putting Darius Slayton on this list for a fraction of a second simply because he was such an unexpected surprise in 2019, but again, we go back to EA Sports and how they claim ratings are determined.

With that in mind, it’s important to note that Slayton led the Giants with 740 yards receiving and eight touchdowns (in 14 games) as a rookie — and that essentially came as the No. 3 guy behind Golden Tate and Sterling Shepard, both of whom earned higher ratings than Slayton.

Marquise Brown and Deebo Samuel were each given a higher ratings than Slayton despite less overall production (yards + touchdowns), while N’Keal Harry (74) came just shy of matching Slayton’s rating despite almost no production.
