As JuJu Smith-Schuster was sprinting to a Pittsburgh Steelers-record 97-yard touchdown reception last week against the Detroit Lions, the rookie receiver kept looking back. There was a reason why: his Madden speed.

"To be honest, the reason I kept looking back was because of Madden -- my speed is like 82, 83," Smith-Schuster said after the game. "So I was like, 'Nah, I think they're going to catch me. They're going to catch me.' And then next, you know, I pulled away, and I swerved to the right, and I was able to get the touchdown.
