With hundreds of players to choose from in EA's latest yearly released video game focused on the National Football League, th꧟ere's an overwhelmi♏ng amount of talent within each roster—unless you are a Cincinnati Bengals fan.
While it is easy to play as the highest-rated team like the Green Bay Packers or the New England Patriots and demolish your friend who still believes in Baker Mayfield, these are the 10 best players that fans really should be using in Madden 21.
11 Patrick Mahomes 🍸
The defending Su🍸per Bowl champion Patrick Mahomes finished the 2019 season with over 4,000 yards, 26 touchdowns, and was voted Super Bowl MVP leading the Kansas City Chiefs to their first championship ܫsince 1967.
With Awaren🌱ess, Throw Power, and Throw Under Pressure ratings of 97 and the second-highest throwing power behind oꩲnly Josh Allen, the 500 million dollar man is easily the cream of the crop when it comes to passers with his ability to make plays out of nothing while tossing the ball down the field with his eyes closed.
10 ꦐ Lamar Jackson 💮
Following an incredible sophomore season where he w▨as unanimously voted the NFL MVP, the running back𝓰 playing the role of quarterback is the closest player to replicate Michael Vick's Madden dominance in 2004.
The cover star of this year's Madden installment, Jackson scrambles out of the pocket and onto the virtual football field with the fastest speed and acceleration rating out of any quarterback. His speed combined with a 95 agility rating makes him one🐽 of the more difficult players to stop, especially when he notices a defender whose ankles he hasn't broken yet.
9 Michael Thomas ༺
The Saints star receivers stretch out into Madden 21 fresh off a highlight-filled 2019 season. Drew Brees's number favorite targ🍸et was a single reception away from 150 catches and finished the year with nearly 2,000 yards receiving with 9 touchdowns.
The 99-rated receiver holds a 92 Aceelration rating paired with 99 Awareness and Catching Rati🐼ngs which makes Michael Thomas one of the🉐 most dominant pass-catchers in Madden 21.
8 𝓡 Christian McCaffrey ℱ
The 8th overall pick in the 2017 NFL Draft finished the season with over 1,000 rushing and receiving yards with 19 touchdowns for the Carolina Panthers. Christian McCaffrey comes into Madden 21 as 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:the highest-rated running back in the game and joins Aaron Donald having back-to-back 99 ratings in Madden 20 and Madden 21. McCaffrey is the first running-back with a launch rating of 99 since Adrian Peterson in Madden NFL 25.
Carolina's breakout player is one of the fastest back's in this year's NFL simulator. With a 92 ℱSpeed rating, 93 Acceletarion rating, a 97 Agility, and Awareness rating paired with his Carrying Rating෴ sitting just below 99 makes Christan McCaffery one of the top players to hand the ball off too.
7 𝄹 🅺 Aaron Donald
The Los Angeles 🌳Rams Defensive Tackle enters this year's Madden's with a 99 overall rating for the third 🤪straight year, becoming the sixth player in Madden's history to do so.
Number 99 holds a 99 Strength, Power Move, Play Recognition, and Awareness Rating paired with his 93 Toughness Rating and 92 Tackling Rating make Donald one of—if not the toughest—players and most terrifying on the Madden field.
6 Geo🔴rge Kittle 💛
The highest-paid tight end in the NFL is also the highest-rated tight end in this year's ღMadden with a 98 rating. Kittle and the San Francisco 49ers saw their season come to a disappointing end in Super Bowl LIV thanks to Andy Reid and the Super Bowl champion Kansas City Chiefs.
The 49ers tight end enters his 4th Madden with a 98 Catching, 94 Awareness, 91 Jumping, 92 Stamina, an✤d a 98 ﷽Toughness rating.
5 ♋ Derrick Henry﷽
With the team on his back last season, the leade🥂r in rushing yards and touchdowns during the 2019 season had an outstanding year ending with it over 1,500 yeards and 16 touchdowns. The fourth-year back would finish his season defeating the all-mighty Tom🔴 Brady in the Wild Card Round leading the Tennesse Titans to their first postseason win against the Patriots.
While number 22 for the Carolina Panthers is the highest-rated running back in Madden 21, Henry sits just below with a 93 rating. His 93 Over𓂃all, 91 Speed, 98 Awareness, and 91 Carrying ratings are just some of the reasons why giving 22 the ball on a 3rd ღand 4 virtually guarantees the player a first down.
4 Tyreek Hill ൩
Madden 21's Fastest Wide Receiver comes into the game with a 99 Speed, Change Of Direction, and Acceleration Rating beating out 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:Juli♔o Jones, Deandre Hopkins, and Michael Thomas.
The defending Super Bowl ch𝓡ampion an💦d fourth highest-rated receiver is generally a problem for any defending team since he is faster than Nick Foles taking over the starting position midway through the season and leading a team to the playoffs.
3 🦂 Rusജsell Wilson
Since being drafted by the Seattle Seahawks in the 2012 NFL Draft, the seven-time Pro Bowler has consistently seen success as one of the top quarterbacks in the league. With over 4,000 yards passing during the 2019 season and 31 touchdowns, Wilson was one of the top passers lasܫt seaꦗson and is a yearly candidate in the MVP discussion.
The Super Bowl XLVII champion is the second-highest-rated quarterback under Patrick Mahomes with a 97 rating. His 98 Stamina and Toughness, 96 Deep Throw Accuracy, and 95 Throw Under Pressure ratings paired with his 94 Play-Action and a 94 Running rating give Wilson the ability to scramble for first🅰 d♎owns and make number three one of the toughest quarterbacks to stop.
2 🎀 Stephon Gilmore
2019's NFL Defensive Player of the Year enters his 9th Madden installment with a 99 making him the highest-rated cornerback since Richard Sherman in Madden 15. The former Buffalo Bill led Bill Belichick and the New England Patriots through the 20🔯19 season and iܫnto the Wildcard round.
The Super Bowl LIII champion sits with a 99 Press, Man Coverage, and 99 Awareness ratings combined wi🃏th his 96 🧸Play Recognition and 96 Stamina ratings.
