While world-wide circumstances via the ongoing coronavirus pandemic has us worried about whether or not the NFL will go on as planned, we know one thing that will go on regardless, Madden 21.
The latest chapter of EA Sports’ NFL game is coming. The gaming company has also teamed up with the world-wide leader, ESPN, to make things a little more fun this year.
ESPN will start releasing the oft-watched player ratings day-by-day starting next week on July 13. But on Thursday, we got a sneak preview that the Bills were part of.
A very small grouping of players on the game have had their ratings released: Rookie QBs.
Step on up, Jake Fromm.
Buffalo made Fromm a surprising fifth-round pick of the team at the 2020 NFL Draft. He’s going to battle for a backup quarterback spot on the team, along with Matt Barkley. Josh Allen will continue as QB1.
In terms of Fromm in Madden, overall, he earned a rating of 62. There’s some good news about that.
Overall, Fromm is the seventh-highest rated rookie quarterback. At the actual draft, he was the eighth quarterback selected. No QB drafted after Fromm ranks above him. The one that Fromm did jump rating-wise is James Morgan, who was selected in the fourth-round by the Jets.
Sorry, Gang Green.
The top rookie thrower comes as no surprise, No.1 overall pick for the Bengals, Joe Burrow. He’s a 76 overall. Following him is Dolphins QB Tua Tagovailoa. Then a little surprise at the top, just as there was at the actual draft.
The Packers shocked the NFL by using their first-round pick, No.26 overall, on quarterback Jordan Love. Madden liked that pick slightly better than the Chargers’ No. 6 overall pick, quarterback Justin Herbert. Love slightly outranks Herbert, 71 to 70.
Check out a couple of Fromm’s ratings below:
