Madden released their ratings for all NFL players ahead of the 2025 season, and the Detroit Lions had many players atop the league in speed, accuracy, and strength. However, they didn't get many rookies who received the benefit of the doubt from Madden's ratings system.
Their top two picks, Tyleik Williams and Tate Ratledge, scored out with ratings of 77 and 71, respectively. Miles Frazier, who won't be suiting up this year due to injury, landed higher than TeSlaa. And, pass rusher Ahmed Hassanein snagged a 68 rating, equivalent to TeSlaa's.
Hassanein, as we saw in training camp and in the preseason, has the tools to become a strong pass rusher but still has to work his way towards being more technical and calculated as a playmaker.
