DeMarco Murray and Jason Peters Crack Top-5 Madden Rankings
By Jim Adair
Published:
In last year’s Madden, the Eagles boasted the best rating in the NFC East, the second-rated running back and top rated tackle. This year, Madden gives the Eagles the third-rated running back and the top-rated tackle.
DeMarco Murray’s 94 overall ties him for third with Jamaal Charles, and he and Le’Veon Bell jumped up into the top-five from outside the ranks last year. Last year’s second-rated back, LeSean McCoy (97), falls out of the top-five. And what of the tackle? Same, dude:
Jason Peters’ 96 overall is up three points from last year, keeping him in the number one tackle spot (and number three overall offensive lineman). Additionally, Evan Mathis notches a 95-overall, even as he isn’t on a roster. So far, EA Sports has also revealed the top ten rookies, and top five tight ends, wide receivers, quarterbacks, and middle linebackers. No Eagles made those lists. And also, they just had to get in that dig on Bradford didn’t they? Can’t wait to see his injury rating.
When he's not writing about sports here or ranting about them on Twitter, Jim is probably watching X-Files on Netflix or drinking a beer somewhere. Jim has nothing against hockey, it's just not his style. He once met Duce Staley at a Sixers game.
