Quintez Cephus is the first of the Detroit Lions rookies to get his Madden 21 game ratings. The fifth-round wide receiver from Wisconsin had his initial ratings for things like speed, strength, hands and more revealed with the other rookie WRs by game developer, EA Sports.
The first thing that stands out is Cephus’ speed rating. He earned an 87, a lofty number for a player who ran a 4.73 in the 40-yard dash. He has a higher rating than several other receivers who ran better 40 times. Cephus earned his highest ratings in acceleration and jumping, at 89 in each. His impact blocking score is one of the lowest of the rookie wideouts, another strange development.
The rating places Cephus 22nd among rookie wideouts in the game. That matches his actual 2020 NFL Draft status.
