C.J. Stroud Only An 81, Nick Bosa Highest-Rated Buckeye and Marvin Harrison Jr. Tied for Top-Rated Rookie

Somehow, 13 other quarterbacks have higher ratings than C.J. Stroud in Madden NFL 25.

Despite his spectacular rookie season in which he led the NFL with 273.9 passing yards per game and led the Houston Texans to an AFC South title, Stroud received an overall rating of only 81 in the new Madden video game, tying him for just 14th among all quarterbacks. He received the same rating as Green Bay Packers quarterback Jordan Love while coming in behind the likes of Jared Goff (82), Kirk Cousins (84) and Brock Purdy (85), to name a few.

Stroud’s low rating drew plenty of critiques on social media.
