As the football season draws nearer, you can feel the anticipation start to grow for both the college and professional games.
One of the best times of each offseason — an event that truly shows the season is around the corner — is when the ratings for the newest EA Sports Madden video game are released. This shows how each player in the NFL is viewed, with numbers be assessed for their skill values.
EA Sports smartly draws out the ratings release over an entire week, working hard to grab as much of the news cycle as possible. We will oblige.
On Monday, it was wide receivers and safeties who saw their numbers get called. Going through the ranks of Oregon Ducks in the NFL, there are a total of seven players who qualify for this group. Unsurprisingly, it is Miami Dolphins S Jevon Holland who leads the way in that group. Here are the ratings from Monday:
| Player Name | Team Name | Overall |
| Jevon Holland | Miami Dolphins | 84 |
| Verone McKinley III | Miami Dolphins | 65 |
| Bennett Williams | Miami Dolphins | N/A |
| Brady Breeze | Detroit Lions | 65 |
| Chase Cota | Detroit Lions | N/A |
| Devon Allen | Philadelphia Eagles | 60 |
| Johnny Johnson III | Houston Texans | N/A |
Obviously, with some players like Cota, Williams, and JJ3, the game is waiting until they officially make the 90-man roster to offer them a rating for the game. Should that happen, we will see how they are rated.
As the week goes on, we will continue to update as player ratings are released for Pro Ducks.
