It’s time for some Seneca Wallace lore.
College Football 26 has just been released, which means there are plenty of people right now knee-deep into new playbooks and players, trying to figure out what’s the most fun way to play the game. This sparked this question for me: Who was the most dominant Green Bay Packers player in a video game?
Obviously, there were some seasons where Aaron Rodgers was a really highly rated player in Madden. I remember putting up numbers with 12 and Jermichael Finley when Madden was still being made on the PlayStation 2. That probably gets my vote, but I’m sure I missed something.
Here’s my honorable mention, though: Packers legend Seneca Wallace back in Madden 2004 when he was still with the Seattle Seahawks. 2004 was when Michael Vick was on the cover and was completely dominant in that game because of his scrambling ability (and how bad the game was at defensive AI). I used to play franchise mode with my dad, a Falcons fan, so I never really got to use Vick. Instead, one of the first moves I made when building my Packers team was moving on from an aging Brett Favre for draft picks and adding Wallace, who was basically a discount Favre.
Thank you, Seneca, for lasting all of 10 snaps in your start in Green Bay, so I can share that story and remind people how good you were in video game football.
