With Madden 18’s release date less than a month away, EA Sports released its list of the game’s top rated rookies and, not surprisingly, the SEC was well-represented.
Myles Garrett, O.J. Howard, Leonard Fournette and Jamal Adams were the top four rookies. Garrett received the highest rating at 83 overall, followed by Howard at 82 and Fournette and Adams at 81.
Former Stanford and current Carolina Panthers running back Christian McCaffrey also received an 81 overall rating.
EA Sports also released a video of several rookies discussing their ratings by using emojis for each attribute.
