Arguably the most exciting addition to Madden This year, the video game series is the rookie group, led by first round picks Henry Ruggs III of the Las Vegas Raiders, CeeDee Lamb of the Dallas Cowboys and Jerry Jeudy of the Denver Broncos.
This trio, with Tee Higgins of the Cincinnati Bengals, discussed their notes in the next with Madden’s official note adjuster Madden NFL 21 video game.

After dazzling everyone at the NFL Scouting Combine with a time of 4.27 seconds on the 40-meter scoreboard, Ruggs was rewarded with a speed rating of 98. The Raiders rookie will be the second fastest receiver in the game, behind the Kansas City Chiefs star Tyreek Hill.
Lamb will start his NFL career with an overall score of 75. The Cowboys wide receiver has a chance to immediately improve that number if he takes advantage of the opportunities the opposing defenses offer him while they are busy stopping Amari Cooper and Michael Gallup outside.
Higgins said EA Sports “made me dirty” by giving it a run-blocking rating of 48 after predicting a rating of around “90”. The Bengal coxswain was also surprised to see his catch level at 82 as he thought it was “100 percent” at 99.
Yet none of Higgins’ reactions could compare to Jeudy. The double receiver of the first All-SEC team had to leave his room to catch his breath when he learned that he had received an overall score of 75.
