Madden 23 is slowly releasing their ratings for each position and with that comes the usual arguments on who the best players in the league are. Like any rankings, there will always be legitimate arguments, but for Madden the players themselves will get in on the fun. Since many players play Madden and likely use their own team, they have a bit more ownership over their Madden rating.
With just the wide receivers and tight ends’ ratings announced, we’ve already got a top receiver feeling like he was snubbed. The Bengals Ja’Marr Chase came in tied for 17th with an 87 rating and tweeted, “I’m going keep working. Extra motivation.”
But, Tom Brady had some words of encouragement:
Don’t sweat it man. Madden didn’t even put me in the game my second year @Real10jayy__ https://t.co/je5GbMfFrQ
