The NFL’s back-to-back MVP isn’t the top-rated quarterback in the launch of “Madden NFL 23.”
The best virtual quarterback will be Tampa Bay’s Tom Brady, at 97 overall, while Aaron Rodgers of the Green Bay Packers comes in second place at 96 overall.
Maybe “most valuable” doesn’t mean best. But it’s hard to argue with what Rodgers has done over the last two years: 85 touchdown passes and only nine interceptions while completing over 69 percent of his passes and leading the league in passer rating at 116.7.
It’s maybe more surprising that Rodgers isn’t 99 overall, never mind the fact that he isn’t the best player at his position in the game.
