VIDEO: Madden Completely Trolls Daniel Jones With Ridiculously Low Rating
By Will Fowler
Whether it's from draft analysts, his own fan base, or even a video game, the Giants' Daniel Jones can't seem to catch a break. He was meticulously boo'ed by Giants fans upon being selected with the sixth overall pick, and even received a chorus of boos at Yankee Stadium. Now, EA has taken a dig of their own at Jones, in the form of his Madden rating.
In this year's installment of EA showing NFL rookies their Madden ratings, Daniel Jones was one of the players invited to the live shoot. Though, it might've been better if he didn't show at all, because his 63 overall rating was the worst out of any rookie there. In fact, Jones ranked as the second lowest-rated quarterback among anyone at the position, including those who went undrafted.
For crying out loud, EA, this was a dude selected sixth overall! He was consistently in the first and second rounds of mock drafts everywhere! How in the world can you rate 220 rookies ahead of him?
Look, I get that this dude was picked way earlier than he should have been. And I understand that that has turned him into a little bit of a meme, especially with Dwayne Haskins still on the board at the time. But wow, a 63 overall for one of the top quarterback prospects in the class?
That's cold, EA.
