With Madden 21 set to be released on August 25, ratings for players are slowly being revealed, with rookie quarterbacks being up first — and Tennessee Titans quarterback Cole McDonald is obviously part of that group.
McDonald is tied atop the list of rookie quarterbacks in both speed (86) and acceleration (89), but his overall rating of 60 is in the middle of the pack.
Here’s a look at the most important ratings for McDonald, courtesy of the Madden 21 official site.
Speed: 86
Acceleration: 89
Agility: 80
Throw Power: 80
Throw Accuracy Short: 78
Throw Accuracy Medium: 75
Throw Accuracy Deep: 73
Play Action: 68
Throw on the Run: 78
Throw Under Pressure: 67
Stamina: 79
Toughness: 87
Based on McDonald’s speed rating alone, the Hawaii product could be some fun to play with. All in all, those ratings aren’t too bad to start for a seventh-round pick, and all ratings are updated as necessary during the season.
Of the rookie quarterbacks, Cincinnati Bengals signal-caller Joe Burrow has the highest overall (76), followed by the Miami Dolphins’ Tua Tagovailoa (73), the Green Bay Packers’ Jordan Love (71), the San Diego Chargers’ Justin Herbert (70) and the Philadelphia Eagles’ Jalen Hurts (68).
McDonald is set to compete for the Titans’ backup quarterback job behind Ryan Tannehill with Logan Woodside in training camp — and it’s a competition that should add a little spice to the team’s preseason.
