Las Vegas Raiders Carry Impressive Madden Rating

The developers of the latest edition of NFL Madden Football give an impressive rating to his year's Las Vegas Raiders.

As player ratings continue to be released daily by the developers at EA Sports, team ratings start to form.

First released by Madden School, the Raiders come in tied as the 10th-best team in Madden 21, after receiving an 81 overall grade.

The Raiders' high-powered offense boosted the offensive rating to 85. Eight of the Raiders top 10 players are on offense, four coming off the offensive line.

Leading the way is Rodney Hudson, his 93 rating makes him the best Raider in the game and the best center on Madden 21.

Left guard Richie Incognito received a 90, right tackle Trent Brown 87 and right guard Gabe Jackson with a 79, leaving behind left tackle, Kolton Miller.

Starting quarterback Derek Carr was given a 79 rating.

Star running back Josh Jacobs earned much respect during his rookie season and was rewarded with a 88 overall rating, ranked in the top 10 running backs.

Tight end Darren Waller rated at 85, coming in as the No. 10 tight end in Madden 21. He is one player who deserves a higher rating after having a breakout season a year ago, finishing the season with the second-most receiving yards by a tight end.

The wide receiver group got a huge boost when Madden released its rookie ratings. Raiders first-round pick, Henry Ruggs III came in with a 76 overall rating, rated the best rookie wide receiver, and the secondnd-fastest receiver in the game with a 98-speed rating.

Tyrell Williams was given an 82, while Hunter Renfrow was left out of the best offensive rating of the Raiders.

The Raiders defense received no love as it received a 77 defensive rating, and there are only two other teams with a lower defensive team rating than the Raiders.

The highest-rated players are safetys Damarious Randall and Lamarcus Joyner at 82. They are leaving behind defensive end Maxx Crosby, who was the runner up for Defensive Rookie of the Year.

Rookie reactions and the “Madden 99 Club” are fun to watch, but as player ratings start to be released, a sense of disappointment is being expressed by players on social media.

Madden 21 is scheduled to be released on Aug. 28, but players can play Madden NFL 21 three days early with the purchase of MVP and Deluxe Editions. The new game offers new features and innovative game-play enhancements, giving players more control and realistic feel of the game.

As for Raider Nation, there’s a lot of excitement floating around. Most Raider players are receiving love from the developers over at EA Sports, and with the season around the corner, it brings excitement to what this Raiders team is going to look like in the field.
