Austin Ekeler has a bone to pick with Madden NFL 23.
While advocating for his respect as an athlete, Ekeler is not fan of the game characterization of him. “Go tell me that is me,” he said. “You’ll see it and you’ll laugh. You’ll be like wow! That is disrespectful.”
Through four games this season, Ekeler has rushed for 140 yards on 45 carries and two touchdowns while hauling in 27 receptions for 188 yards and one receiving touchdown. However, the veteran running back is coming off a 2021 campaign where he recorded a career-high 20 touchdowns with 12 (career-high) scores coming on the ground and tying his 2019 career-high of eight through the air.
