Denver Broncos ratings in Madden NFL 22 – The Denver Post

Electronic Arts have unveiled its complete ratings for the upcoming Madden NFL 22 game. Here’s a look at how the Broncos stack up.

The stars

Despite missing the entirety of the 2020 season, linebacker Von Miller again is the top-rated player on Denver’s roster. He has a 93 overall rating, down from his 97 mark entering last season. He is followed by four members of the team’s vaunted secondary: safety Justin Simmons (91), cornerback Kyle Fuller (87), cornerback Bryce Callahan (86) and safety Kareem Jackson (86). Running back Melvin Gordon III is the highest-rated player on offense with an 85 overall score.

The draft class

Denver’s first-round pick, cornerback Pat Surtain II, has the highest overall score for the team’s first-year players at 76. He has the fourth-highest grade at his position behind Fuller, Callahan and Ronald Darby (80). Running back Javonte Williams, the team’s second-round pick, has the next highest score at 75. Here’s a look at the rest of the 2021 draft class:

  • Round 3, No. 98: G Quinn Meinerz — 66
  • Round 3, No. 105: MLB Baron Browning — 67
  • Round 5, No. 152: S Caden Sterns — 67

QB battle

In the initial rankings, Teddy Bridgewater has a slight edge over Drew Lock with an overall rating advantage of 73 to 70. Bridgewater beats Lock across the board in accuracy with advantages in the short (87-84), medium (81-80) and deep (83-79) passing games. Lock, however, has a stronger arm (88-85) and owns a narrow edge in awareness (73-70). Lock has the same overall rating he had entering the 2021 season.
