The player ratings database for Madden NFL 20 was unveiled today, allowing fans to search any and every player in the league and their rating in the game. We are going to show the ratings of the team’s most notable players and projected starters:
Offense
QB Baker Mayfield (83) - Tied for 11th in NFL
RB Kareem Hunt (90) - Tied for 7th in NFL
RB Nick Chubb (85) - Tied for 16th in NFL
RB Duke Johnson (80) - Tied for 35th in NFL
WR Odell Beckham Jr. (96) - 4th in NFL
WR Jarvis Landry (84) - Tied for 26th in NFL
WR Antonio Callaway (75) - Tied for 84th in NFL
TE David Njoku (82) - Tied for 20th in NFL
LT Greg Robinson (70) - Tied for 28th in NFL
LG Joel Bitonio (87) - 2nd in NFL
C JC Tretter (79) - 14th in NFL
RG Austin Corbett (70) - Tied for 25th in NFL
RT Chris Hubbard (72) - 20th in NFL
Some fans might want to see the rating for Mayfield be a bit higher, but I think it’s a fair rating for a quarterback entering his second year, especially when he has high-rated weapons surrounding him. Cleveland’s running back duo of Hunt and Chubb is incredible, and Beckham is a Top-5 rated receiver in the NFL. The Browns’ offensive line isn’t the best on offense, but it does have a pretty good middle with Bitonio and Tretter.
Defense
RDE Myles Garrett (91) - 2nd in NFL
DT Sheldon Richardson (84) - 11th in NFL
DT Larry Ogunjobi (77) - Tied for 28th in NFL
LDE Olivier Vernon (82) - Tied for 16th in NFL
LOLB Genard Avery (76) - Tied for 18th in NFL
MLB Joe Schobert (79) - Tied for 16th in NFL
ROLB Christian Kirksey (75) - Tied for 25th in NFL
CB Denzel Ward (88) - Tied for 10th in NFL
FS Damarious Randall (86) - Tied for 5th in NFL
SS Morgan Burnett (74) - Tied for 32nd in NFL
CB Terrance Mitchell (76) - Tied for 66th in NFL
CB Greedy Williams (73) - Tied for 90th in NFL
A few notes about the defense: most positions are split up (i.e. left defensive end has one set of ratings, and right defensive end has another). Defensive tackle and cornerback are not split up, though, so all of the players are in the same “pool” when looking at where they rank. Individually, Garrett, Richardson, Ward, and Randall are in the Top 11 at their positions in the NFL. The biggest overachiever might be Avery.
Special Teams
P Britton Colquitt (77) - Tied for 10th in NFL
K Greg Joseph (69) - Tied for 27th in NFL
