NFL rookies finding out their Madden ratings? Runs the full spectrum of emotions
James Dator has been covering a wide range of sports for SB Nation for over a decade, with a special focus on the NFL.
It’s a yearly tradition like no other: NFL rookies being devastated by their low Madden NFL rankings. At this point you’d think they’d learn they’re not going to step out of college and get a 92 out of the gate, but it still made some of them mad.
NFL rookies, ranked from most upset to least upset:
1. Sammie Coates
2. Tevin Coleman
3. Duke Johnson
4. Phillip Dorsett
5. Amari Cooper
6. Devin Smith
7. T.J. Yeldon
8. Marcus Mariota
9. Jameis Winston
10. Todd Gurley
11. Devin Funchess
12. Melvin Gordon
13. Kevin White
Special credit to Kevin White. Dude was OVERJOYED by his rating.
This very thing happened back in 2013, when SB Nation talked to that year’s rookie class about their rankings.
