Madden 22: 5 Buffalo Bills who should have higher ratings
These are six players on the Buffalo Bills who should have higher ratings in this year’s version of Madden.
Over the past week, EA Sports had slowly been releasing the ratings for the top players at each position. On Saturday, they released every player’s ratings, and the Buffalo Bills as a team are entering this year’s version of Madden as one of the best teams with the sixth-highest rating at 86 overall, with the offense receiving a rating of 86 and the defense at 82.
While the overall rating is good, there were a number of players that Madden seemed to miss the mark on when it came to their ratings. These are five players on the Buffalo Bills that should have been higher, starting with a former All-Pro.
Tre’Davious White
Overall Rating: 93
Position Rank: 4th at cornerback
While his rank at the cornerback position seems fair, fourth overall, the issue here is the gap between White and the other three cornerbacks ahead of him. At the top of the position is Los Angeles Rams’ cornerback Jalen Ramsey who had a rating of 99, followed by New England Patriots’ Stephon Gilmore at 97, and then Green Bay Packers’ Jaire Alexander at 95.
There is a case to be made that if Gilmore is 97 that White should be much closer to that total than 93. These two cornerbacks had very similar stat lines in 2019 when Gilmore won Defensive Player of the Year and White earned an All-Pro selection.
This past season, Gilmore played in only 11 games and had 37 total tackles, with one interception while quarterbacks had a QB rating of 75.7 when targeting him. As for White, he played in 15 games and finished with 57 total tackles, three interceptions and quarterbacks had a slightly better QB rating at 79.9.
There certainly is a debate to be had about who is the better cornerback between Stephon Gilmore and Tre’Davious White but the two are much closer than their rating in Madden would indicate.
