Which Eagles have the highest rating in Madden NFL 25? originally appeared in NBC Sports Philadelphia
MaddenNFL 25, the latest in the popular video game franchise, is set to be released in a few weeks. A big part of the game’s appeal is being able to control your favorite team throughout the seasons in the quest to win a virtual Super Bowl.
EA Sports has released ratings for virtually the entire league (except the quarterbacks), and as far as the Eagles are concerned, this year’s roster features several players on offense who are ranked by play among the league’s best.
Two Eagles players have a Madden rating of 95 (the highest you can have is 99): wide receiver AJ Brown and right tackle Lane Johnson. Brown’s rating is tied for fourth among all NFL players behind Miami’s Tyreek Hill (99), the Vikings’ Justin Jefferson (98) and the Cowboys’ CeeDee Lamb (96). Fellow WR DeVonta Smith was also highly rated at 88.
Johnson is the second-highest rated right tackle in the game, behind only Penei Sewell of the Detroit Lions.
The rest of the offensive line is a mixed bag from a rankings standpoint. Left tackle Jordan Mailata is a very strong 89, left guard Landon Dickerson is an 85, center Cam Jurgens is a 70, and Tyler Steen, the projected starter at right guard, is a 69.
Eagles running back Saquon Barkley is among Madden’s best running backs at 92, ranking fourth in the league behind the 49ers’ Christian McCaffrey (99), Cleveland’s Nick Chubb (96) and the Ravens’ Derrick Henry (96). 94).
The defense, not surprisingly, doesn’t feature a number of high rankings among them. The highest-rated player on that side of the ball is safety CJ Gardner-Johnson, at 84. Behind CJGJ on D is defensive tackle Jalen Carter at 82, then three edge rushers: Josh Sweat at 81, Brandon Graham at 80 and Bryce I snort at 79.
Madden NFL 25 is available now for pre-order and will be available for digital download at midnight on August 16th.
