I know nothing about these ratings but I heard on the radio that he had a rating of 75.  FWIW Cam Ward was rated with a 71.  If he catches the ball a bunch he will be fine.

Lolz

Just don't be another XL. Even being a solid #2 would be a decent outcome. There are reasons he skipped combine areas and in Madden that would hurt his overall rating as a WR. Just another Panthers player that has a lot to prove so nothing new.

T-Mac is paying the Panthers tax right now in Madden. 

Only thing going to help him is balling out and the team winning.

[LinvilleGorge]

#7-10 were all 78 ratings. T-Mac is right behind them at 77. No massive slight going on here.

Madden ratings have always been silly.  I haven't played in years but they used to just tank young players' "awareness" rating (whatever that does) to stunt their overalls down to the 70s.

Madden ratings are a popularity contest anyways.

Someone needs to call up Ochocinco!! He controls the madden ratings!!

Those outside of Hunter seem mighty generous. But madden rarely gets it right in ratings in the first place. By the  2nd roster update of this season it will probably be more like it, I hope.

Every draft would be wildly different redrafted a few years later. Rookie Madden ratings are pretty much entirely based on mock draft hype.

The Cam Ward disrespect is REAL though. 72 for a #1 overall is wild.

68. Tied with Jaxson Dart for the #2 rookie QB. Seems like Ward fell victim to being lumped in with the overall weak QB class when honestly he had the makeup both physically and from a stats perspective of a typical #1 overall QB.

Meanwhile, Trevor "Generational" Lawrence had a 78 rookie rating and has a 74 rating in the coming game. LOL

I had to look for myself.  67 for Shedeur?

A 77 isn't bad tho
