Dan Skipper does it all in clip posted by Lions social media

Dan Skipper does it all in a fantastic clip posted by Lions social media

Dan Skipper was always a fan favorite for the Lions and their fans. An ineligible receiving penalty called against him during the 2023 season turned him into a national name and with that comes the perks of it.

One of those perks, Madden notices you. When Madden notices you, they use you to kill some time during the offseason.

Skipper does it all in this nine-minute highlight. Blocking, quarterback play, toe-tap touchdown catches, running over defenders as a ball carrier, and even touchdown dances that would make Elvis Presley look mundane.

The offseason for the Detroit Lions has been busy. They have filled in several holes on defense, the offense retained Ben Johnson, and now Brad Holmes and Dan Campbell have extensions. Despite that, it is important to have fun when football has it’s downtime, thank you Madden for the comedic relief all at the expense of Dan Skipper.

Lil’Jordan Humphrey asks ‘Madden’ to improve his rating after 54-yard TD

After scoring a 54-yard touchdown against the Chargers, Broncos WR Lil’Jordan Humphrey wants EA Sports to improve his ‘Madden’ rating.

The best play of the Denver Broncos’ game against the Los Angeles Chargers on Sunday came in the second quarter when quarterback Jarrett Stidham stepped up in the pocket and found wide receiver Lil’Jordan Humphrey running across the field on third down.

Humphrey caught the ball at the 40-yard line and then made four Chargers defenders miss on his way to a 54-yard touchdown. It was an impressive catch and run and a play that helped secure a 16-9 win on Sunday.

ā€œJust came up,” Humphrey said of the catch after the win. “Saw the look but they dropped out of it. Made a play. Iā€™m just like, ā€˜Got to make it to the end zone. I want to make a play for the team.ā€™ā€

After the game, Humphrey took to Twitter/X to ask EA Sports to improve his rating in the popular “Madden NFL” video game.

Humphrey is rated 66 overall in “Madden NFL 24.” After Sunday’s big play, it’s probably fair to say he deserves a boost.

ā€œI saw them bring the blitz, and I had a lane to step up and I thought about taking off and running,” Stidham said of the play. “I just saw him out of the corner of my eye and gave him a ball, and he made an incredible play.

“At first, I thought he was down on the one-[yard line], so I was kind of bummed, but then I saw that they called a touchdown. So heck of a play by him and the rest of the guys for blocking down field.ā€

Humphrey has totaled 13 receptions for 162 yards and three touchdowns this season. His three scores are a career high and one more catch in the team’s season finale next week would give him another career high with 14 receptions.

“Heā€™s been pretty consistent during the year, quietly,” coach Sean Payton said. “Heā€™s that player in Chicago that makes a play. Heā€™s big. Heā€™s physical.

“Heā€™s strong. Iā€™m a little bit more familiar with him ā€” but the confidence and the consistency. Heā€™s had a good season especially as we acquired someone like him. Heā€™s done a good job. Iā€™m proud of him.ā€

Humphrey, 25, is set to become a free agent in March.

Madden 24: See the ratings for entire Patriots roster

Did Madden get the Patriots’ ratings right this year?

We are closing in on the start of the 2023 regular season, which means only one thing: It’s Madden season.

With the recent release of EA’s “Madden NFL 24”, the New England Patriots weren’t given much respect at all as far as the player ratings are concerned. Sadly, that’s what happens when a team is an absolute mess and misses the playoffs.

But there is hope for things to be better this time around with all of the new additions to the roster, including the return of Bill O’Brien as offensive coordinator. The team also made the big splash signing at running back with former two-time NFL leading rusher Ezekiel Elliott joining an offensive backfield that already had burgeoning star rusher Rhamondre Stevenson.

Elliott isn’t listed as a Patriots running back on this list, but that will surely change in a future update. For now, let’s take a look at the overall rating for every Patriots player on the Madden 24 roster.

Madden 24 ratings for every Patriots safety

Three Patriots safeties received an 80-plus overall rating.

The New England Patriots will be entering the 2023 season with one of the best defensive backfields in the NFL, and the ratings on the upcoming “Madden NFL 24” video game reflect it.

There are three players at the safety position for the Patriots rated 80-plus overall in the game. It’s a good thing for a unit that lost legendary defensive back Devin McCourty in the offseason.

McCourty, who rode off into the sunset in retirement, will be watching from the sidelines as players like Kyle Dugger, Jabrill Peppers, Jalen Mills and Adrian Phillips step up as defensive leaders.

Madden players, on the other hand, will love running this unit against that one friend that constantly heaves up deep throws on every play. Here are the official Madden 24 ratings for every Patriots safety.

Madden 24 ratings for every Patriots tight end

Here’s how the Patriots’ tight ends rated in the upcoming “Madden NFL 24” video game.

The New England Patriots haven’t given up on their pursuit of reviving the tight end position. So they ditched the Jonnu Smith bandwagon and attached themselves to a new wagon altogether.

“Madden NFL 24” will feature Hunter Henry and newly-signed Patriots tight end Mike Gesicki. The hope is that the two form the sort of one-two punch that Rob Gronkowski and Aaron Hernandez created on the field back in 2011.

Gesicki doesn’t provide much in the way of blocking, but he basically acts as another wide receiver on the field, which is exactly what the Patriots need after failing to land a big, elite outside target. The combination of Henry and Gesicki should be able to mask the other issues to some degree.

Here’s a look at the ratings for every Patriots tight end in the upcoming Madden 24 video game:

Ohio State football All NFL Madden 24 team, Defense

If we put a Madden 24 NFL team together of just former Ohio State players on defense. Here’s what it would look like. #GoBucks

One fun talking point around football circles is answering the question of what would happen if college football programs each had an NFL team of their alumni.

Between Alabama, Ohio State, Georgia, LSU, Clemson, and more, there would be some strong teams. Each program has good options for quarterbacks and talent at every position group.

We just did an article outlining what the Buckeyes’ all-NFL Madden 24 offense would be and today we focus on the defensive side of the ball.

When breaking down each position group of this defense it’s clear that it would project as one of the best defenses in the NFL. There is star talent across the board and no real weak spot to exploit.Ā  Here’s how what it would look like.
