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.

“Just came up,” Humphrey said of the catch after the win. “Saw the look but they dropped out of it. Made a play. I’m just like, ‘Got to make it to the end zone. I want to make a play for the team.’”

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.

“I 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.”

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.

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

“He’s strong. I’m a little bit more familiar with him — but the confidence and the consistency. He’s had a good season especially as we acquired someone like him. He’s done a good job. I’m proud of him.”

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.

Seahawks complete player ratings for Madden 24

As for the Seahawks, nobody on their roster has a rating over 90.

EA Sports is releasing the latest version of Madden today. This year’s cover athlete is Bills quarterback Josh Allen, who says that he does not believe in the infamously silly yet persistent Madden curse.

One could argue that Chiefs QB Patrick Mahomes killed the curse back in 2020, but then again it’s not really fair to count Mahomes – or 2020 – in these matters. Rated No. 99 overall in this version, Mahomes continues to dismantle everything we thought we knew about the sport, including the Madden curse. Then again, just because not every person who visits Lake Lanier suffers an accident doesn’t make the place any less haunted – and for good reason.

In any case, Josh Allen is ranked No. 3 at QB this year, rated 94 overall behind Joe Burrow of the Bengals (95) and Mahomes.

As for the Seahawks, nobody on their roster has a rating over 90. Their highest-ranked player is wide receiver Tyler Lockett, who scored an 89. Let’s see how everybody else made out. Here are the full Madden 24 ratings for every Seattle player in this year’s game.

Here are the Broncos’ linebacker ratings in ‘Madden NFL 24’

Broncos ILB Josey Jewell is rated 80 OVR (up from 76 last year) and Alex Singleton is rated 79 OVR (up from 72 last year) in ‘Madden.’

(EA Sports, Madden NFL 24)

EA Sports has released player ratings for “Madden NFL 24” and we now know the ratings for every Denver Broncos inside linebacker in the popular video game.

Josey Jewell is the team’s best linebacker with an 80 overall rating. Fellow starter Alex Singleton is the second-best with a 79 OVR rating.

Those represent notable rating increases for both Jewell and Singleton, who were rated 76 and 72, respectively, in last year’s version of “Madden.”

Broncos rookie Drew Sanders and vet Jonas Griffith are both rated 72 OVR this year. Justin Strnad rounds out the team’s ILB depth with a 64 OVR rating. Griffith was 69 OVR last year and Strnad was 64 OVR.

Singleton has the best tackle rating (92) among the team’s linebackers, followed by Jewell (89), Griffith (83) and Sanders (78). Strnad’s tackle rating is 75.

EA Sports did not include Seth Benson or Ray Wilborn on the Broncos’ roster, so neither of them have ratings in “Madden” yet.

“Madden NFL 24” will be released on August 15.

Former Longhorn Bijan Robinson’s Madden rating revealed

Is his rating too high or too low?

Bijan Robinson will certainly go down as one of the best and most memorable Longhorns of this generation, but unfortunately for Texas fans his time in Austin is up.

The former five-star running back departed Texas following a spectacular season in 2022 that saw him being named an unanimous All-American, while also winning the Doak Walker award. Upon leaving Texas for the NFL, he was drafted by the Atlanta Falcons with the No. 8 overall pick.

Over the past few days, NFL players have learned their ratings for the popular game, Madden. While you would think that professional athletes wouldn’t care about their rating, seeing a player react to their rating which they often think is too low has become one of the best parts of the game throughout the years.

Robinson got a pretty strong rating of 81, which isn’t high enough to have him ranked within the top-10 backs in the game but he did acquire a rating of 86 for breaking tackles. A number that is just two shy of Saints running back Alvin Kamara. However, an interesting comparison is last year’s rookie class who didn’t have a single player with an 80 or above rating to start.

Most Texas fans will be expecting Robinson to thrive in the NFL thanks to his skillset and an offense that is catered to him, so don’t be shocked when his overall ranking ascends.

Here are the Broncos’ punter and kicker ratings in ‘Madden NFL 24’

Based on their ratings, Broncos punter Riley Dixon is a better option for field goals in ‘Madden 24’ than kicker Elliott Fry.

EA Sports released player ratings for “Madden NFL 24” last week and the ratings are not kind to the Denver Broncos’ specialists.

Broncos kicker Elliott Fry has a low overall rating of 64. He actually has a high kick power rating of 90, but his kick accuracy is only 66.

Meanwhile, Denver punter Riley Dixon is rated 75 overall. He has a decent kick power rating of 93 and a kick accuracy rating of 79. By those metrics, Dixon would actually be a better option for field goals than Fry if playing with the Broncos in the video game.

Dixon’s overall rating is tied for 18th among punters in “Madden” this year. Fry has the second-worst ratings among kickers in the game, only ranking above Trey Wolff (63 overall) of the Tennessee Titans.

Elsewhere on special teams, the club’s long snapper, Mitchell Fraboni, is listed as a tight end in the video game with a terrible rating of 32 overall. “Madden” doesn’t include long snapper as a position so all of the NFL’s long snappers are listed as tight ends with terrible ratings.

Note: The Broncos are expected to sign kicker Brett Maher, but his one-year deal is not yet official.

Madden 24 ratings for Seahawks QBs Geno Smith and Drew Lock

Now is the time of year when perhaps the most controversial information is unveiled: player ratings.

Every year, a new edition to the popular Madden video game franchise comes out. Now is the time of year when perhaps the most controversial information is unveiled: player ratings.

Everyone wants to know where their favorite players are ranked, and information about the Seattle Seahawks is now out. First up, quarterbacks. Unfortunately, despite a Pro Bowl caliber year, Geno Smith barely missed out on the Top 10 for ratings.

Perhaps fittingly, Smith comes in at No. 12 overall. As for his fellow Seahawks quarterbacks, Drew Lock has a rating of 64 while rookie Holton Ahlers is at 54.

Unsurprisingly, Smith is well ahead of his predecessor Russell Wilson, who is a 77 overall.

As far as the other Seahawks go, cornerback Tariq Woolen isn’t thrilled at his rating. Meanwhile, running back Kenneth Walker III is rather highly rated at 87 overall.

Ratings for every Rams player in ‘Madden NFL 24’

Check out ratings for every Rams player in Madden 24 this year, including 99 overall Aaron Donald

Madden ratings may not always be the most accurate depictions of how a team looks each year, but it does give fans at least some sense of the talent on the roster. Unfortunately for the Rams, the ratings gurus at EA Sports were not kind to Los Angeles.

The player ratings in “Madden NFL 24” paint an ugly picture for the upcoming season, with only a handful of players being rated 80 overall or higher. They’re led by Aaron Donald and Cooper Kupp, who are 99 and 96 overall, respectively, but a lot of projected starters don’t even touch 70.

Here’s a look at every player rating released by EA for Madden 24, sorted by position group.

Highest-rated former Badgers in Madden 24

Which Badgers are rated the highest in Madden 24?

The 2023 NFL season is on the horizon and the annual Madden video game is set to be released in August. It’s always a big deal across the internet and in all forms of media, which players are rated too high or too low.

For a long time, former Wisconsin defensive lineman J.J. Watt was the highest rated Badger in Madden, but he’s now retired and a new breed of Wisconsin athletes have taken over the NFL.

There are many former Badger football players in the league, some better than others. Here’s how the top-rated current NFL players in Madden 24 at each position from Wisconsin stack up:

49ers dominant LB duo leads way in Madden 24 ratings

The #49ers have 2 of Madden 24’s 10 highest-rated linebackers:

It’s no surprise that the 49ers in “Madden NFL 24” have two of the game’s 10 highest-rated linebackers.

EA Sports is releasing the player ratings for the newest edition of its game and had 49ers LBs Fred Warner and Dre Greenlaw rated among the 10 best at their position. Warner is the No. 1 overall rated LB, while Greenlaw checks in at No. 8 overall.

The rest of San Francisco’s LB corps is not great by the game’s standards, which isn’t a huge surprise with how many things the team still has to figure out there.

Here’s what the full LB ratings for the 49ers look like:
