C.J. Gardner-Johnson Not Impressed With Madden Rating

The safety was not pleased with the video game's assessment of his skills.

Each year, the ratings EA Sports assigns to players in their "Madden" video game brings about copious amounts of online reactions. 

Ahead of the release of the latest edition of the popular video game, it was no different for Detroit Lions safety C.J. Gardner-Johnson. 

As part of its roll out of the player ratings, EA Sports released its assessments of the NFL's wide receivers and safeties. 

Gardner-Johnson is the 20th highest rated safety in the game at an 84 overall.

Last season, with the Philadelphia Eagles, the safety tied for the league lead in interceptions with six. He gave his opinion on his mark in a social media post Monday afternoon.
