It’s just a video game, but the Madden NFL series is so much more than that for NFL players and many fans too. Players pore over the ratings, checking to see their attributes and how they stack up against other players at their positions.
Lions rookie offensive tackle Penei Sewell should feel pretty good about his initial ranking in this year’s edition, Madden NFL 22. Sewell starts out with a 75 overall rating, a good mark for a rookie lineman.
Befitting the first offensive tackle to be selected in the 2021 NFL draft, Sewell earned the highest initial player rating of any rookie offensive lineman. The other Lions rookies will get their ratings soon; EA Sports only released selected rankings so far.
