Quinnen Williams earns highest Madden rookie rating

Quinnen Williams is the NFL’s best rookie entering the 2019 season. Well, at least Madden 20 says so.

With the season inching closer and Madden 20 coming out soon, the video game has released its rookie ratings. With Williams possibly being the best overall player in this past year’s draft, the video game rated him accordingly.

The third overall pick was given the highest-rated overall grade out of all rookies with an 80 grade. The Buffalo Bills’ Ed Oliver slid in right behind Williams with a 79 overall rating, while the No. 1 overall pick, Nick Bosa, received a 78. Josh Allen, T.J. Hockenson and Marquise Brown all earned a 77 overall rating.

Some attributes to go along with Williams’ 80 overall rating include an 88 for impact blocking and an 89 for strength.

Clearly, Madden saw how big Williams is at 301 pounds and the force he was at Alabama. He has decent speed given his size, but his ability to bulldoze his way through offensive lineman is unlike others at his position. It paid off for him, as he recorded 91 total tackles (26 for a loss) and 10 sacks in two years at Alabama.

The Jets think he has a lot of potential in the NFL and Madden is quickly picking up on that notion.
