Madden 22 ratings: Chicago Bears LB Roquan Smith

The former Georgia star racked up 139 tackles, four sacks and two interceptions for the Bears in 2020.

Madden, the popular NFL video game produced by EA Sports, has released new player ratings ahead of the new edition set to hit stores on Aug. 20.

The first former Georgia Bulldog to be rated was Nick Chubb, who was given a 96 overall rating out of 99, good enough to rank him 2nd among all running backs.

Next up is former star linebacker Roquan Smith. The Chicago Bear is entering his fourth season after earning All-Pro second team honors in 2020 after racking up 139 tackles, four sacks, two interceptions and seven passes defended.

Smith is rated at 88 overall, which puts him at No. 7 among all NFL linebackers.

Smith had one of the best linebacker seasons in Georgia history during the Bulldogs championship run in 2017. The Montezuma, Ga., native earned SEC Championship MVP and All-America First Team honors, was named the AP SEC Defensive Player of the Year and won the 2017 Butkus Award, given to the nation’s top linebacker.

Now, Smith is poised for another big season in Chicago in 2021. The Bears will kick off the year in a preseason matchup with the Dolphins on Aug. 14.

Madden 22 ratings: Former Georgia football star Nick Chubb

Madden, the popular NFL video game produced by EA Sports, has released some player ratings for the 2022 edition that comes out on Aug. 20.

One of the first players rated is former Georgia football standout Nick Chubb. The Cleveland Browns running back is the game’s 2nd highest rated  back at 96 overall out of a possible 99.

Chubb does have the highest rating for broken tackles at 98 overall.

Chubb has taken the league by storm since being drafted by the Browns in the second round of the 2018 draft. Since then, the Cedartown, Ga., native is the top running back in the league, per Pro Football Focus (PFF).

It’s workouts like these that makes Chubb such a problem for defenses.
