It’s that time of the year again, where football fans all over the world join together and get mad at the annual release of Madden ratings. I did the grunt work for Michigan State fans and manually searched and recorded the ratings of each former Spartan in this year’s game.
This year’s rankings are… extremely top-heavy. Le’Veon Bell is far ahead of his fellow Spartan alumni, with Kirk Cousins coming in at a distant second:
