Ohio State will be well-represented once again in Madden NFL 21.
Fifty-seven NFL players who completed their collegiate careers at Ohio State are included in this year’s installment of the Madden video game franchise, headlined by New Orleans Saints wide receiver Michael Thomas, one of five players to receive a 99 overall rating. According to a list of all-time Madden ratings compiled by I-80 Sports Blog, Thomas is the first Ohio State player to ever receive a 99, the highest possible rating in the game.
Dallas Cowboys running back Ezekiel Elliott is the second-highest-rated Buckeye in this year’s game with an overall rating of 92, which ties him with Nick Chubb for the third-highest-rating among running backs (behind Christian McCaffrey and Derrick Henry) in Madden 21.
