The NY Giants bolstered the roster this offseason, so it isn’t a surprise that they have several top-rated players in Madden NFL 22
EA Sports revealed their ‘Madden NFL 22’ rankings for all 32 teams, and several NY Giants players are among the highest rated players at their positions.
Madden ratings are as frequently debated among fans as they are among the players, so there is bound to be some controversy over how Giants players stack up.
Here’s a look at the NY Giants’ five-highest rated players in Madden NFL 22:
RB Saquon Barkley: 90
Barkley has a grade of 92 for speed, 93 for acceleration, 96 for agility, 81 for strength, 96 for awareness, 94 for jumping, 97 for stamina, and 90 for toughness.
Coming off of an ACL injury last year, I don’t think the Giants want to rush him into playing Week 1 of this season. I predict that Barkley will play closer to Week 3, and he will have a monster season.
Last season, he had 19 ATT, 34 yards, zero touchdowns, and AVG 1.8. He only played in two games so that’s why his 2020 overall statistics aren’t great.
I think Madden rating him 90 was the right number. He is definitely one of the top running backs in the league, but there are others who are higher than he is.
The running backs with a higher ranking than Barkley are Aaron Jones, Alvin Kamara, Dalvin Cook, Nick Chubb, Derrick Henry, and Christian McCaffrey.
