It’s official, the 2021 Madden ratings are out and the uproar begins. I took a look back at my May 19th predictions and wanted to do a comparison. Some players like Hubbard and Fred Johnson got boned, meanwhile I think that Lawson got some love based off of a sub-par 2019 season. Here is how it played out:
