Madden 21 Ratings: New Orleans Saints rumored to be top overall team

As anticipated as the 2020-2021 NFL season is, gamers and football fans alike are garnering to get their hands on the much-hyped Madden 21 football game.

It’s that time of the year as EA is a month away from releasing it’s super popular Madden franchise NFL game, slated to be released on August 25th. In order to build anticipation, EA is releasing position and team ratings up until the full release of the video game. The New Orleans Saints are well represented on the rating list.

The QB list was announced and there was no surprise at the top. Kansas City Chiefs quarterback phenom Patrick Mahomes topped the list with a 99 overall ranking. Mahomes was followed by Russell Wilson of the Seahawks and then last year’s NFL MVP Lamar Jackson.

Coming in at number 4 is the Saints own Drew Brees.

Seeing Brees in the top echelon of quarterbacks is no surprise as he seems to age like wine and get better with time. Brees is one of the most accurate passers in NFL history and he continues to show that year in and year out as he completed over 70% of his passes last year for a fourth consecutive season.

Brees is actually a point up on last year’s rating when he came into the season a 92 overall. EA also released their top running back ratings for the game and this one had a lot of Saints fans perturbed.

After seeing the ratings released Kamara took to Twitter to tell the world exactly how he felt about them.

He then retweeted a stat that makes this Madden rating’s list seem silly at best. The list of running backs in NFL history to record 2,000 rushing yards, 2,000 receiving yards, and be selected to 3 Pro Bowls in their first 3 seasons is Alvin Kamara and no one else.

Just him.

Kamara will no doubt let his play on the field speak for itself as he is hard at work this offseason doing more insane workouts.

In the coming weeks, more ratings will be revealed, although a few have leaked already before the official reveal. One noteworthy leak involving the New Orleans Saints is best overall team rating. According to the report at maddenschool, the Saints will have the top overall team on the game.

The Saints will have 5 players with overall ratings at 90 and above.

That ties for second and only trails the Kansas City Chiefs, who have 6. The Saints get the nod over the Chiefs due to their much better defensive rating. Stay tuned as we give more reaction as more ratings are revealed in the coming weeks.
