NFL Fans Are Sounding Off On EA Sports After They Totally Disrespected Titans Rookie QB Cam Ward With Their ‘Madden 26’ Ratings

Cam Ward might be the least talked-about No. 1 overall draft pick in recent memory.

The Tennessee Titans’ rookie quarterback is also disrespected in the video game world, as he also earned a surprisingly low rating for Madden 26.

Ward does not rank anywhere near the top 10 rookies in the Madden 26 initial player ratings released by EA Sports on July 30.

Ward’s initial rating is 72 overall, which is tops among rookie quarterbacks but well below players like Travis Hunter, who has an 84 overall rating to lead all rookies.

Ward ranks tied for 69th among all rookies, and his initial player rating is the lowest for a No. 1 overall pick in years in the annual video game.

What makes this even crazier is that Cam Ward is not even the highest-rated Titans rookie in the game, with second-rounder Femi Oladejo coming in at a 74 overall.

To go further into the disrespect, New York Giants 4th round running back Cam Skattebo has a higher Madden rating than Ward.
