It’s rating release week for Madden 21, and we’re getting a bunch of hints tossed our way about player ratings in the upcoming video game.
EA Sports has teamed up ESPN this week, going day-by-day releasing some overall player ratings. We currently know at least one about Bills quarterback Josh Allen, his throwing power.
Allen edges out Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes for the strongest throws in the upcoming NFL football game:

Unfortunately, Mahomes has Allen beat pretty mightily overall. At the time of this write up, the top-10 QB ratings were released by EA Sports. Mahomes is the lone 99 overall, even though his arm power is a 97/100 rating.
The top-10 QB overall ratings are rounded out by Eagles quarterback Carson Wentz, who’s at an 84 overall. In Madden 20, Allen was initially rated a 74 overall. So Allen will be an 83 or lower.
Micah Hyde was the Bills’ highest-rated player at an 86 overall in last year’s game. So far we know the full ratings of a few of the Bills rookies and that’s it. Those are the wide receivers and quarterback ratings and fourth-round rookie Gabriel Davis leads that crew at a 69 overall.
