“Madden NFL Ratings Performance Adjuster”: Former CSU, Broncos player’s gig in video games

GILLETTE, Wyo. — Clint Oldenburg once had Carolina Panthers quarterback Cam Newton take off his walking boot after the star NFL player had ankle surgery.

Newton was taking a tour of the EA Sports offices in Orlando, Florida, and he had one thing on his mind.

Newton, listed at 6-foot-5 and 245 pounds, is an athletic wonder. He’s built like a linebacker, can run like a running back and has an arm that can make even the most talented quarterbacks envious.

Following the ankle surgery, Newton noticed that his speed and agility rating in EA Sports’ blockbuster Madden NFL video game franchise was a little low.
