Just a bit ago, EA published a video of some of the top players from this year's rookie class reacting to their overall ratings in Madden NFL 16. Most of the reaction, of course, was surprise with a bit of disappointment as well, as none of them lived up to their expectations of mid-to-high 80s — or in Pittsburgh Steelers' Sammie Coates case, 90 overall.
EA didn't make us wait long to see what was revealed to the rookies, as the company released today the top 10 rookies in Madden 16. Surprisingly, number one overall pick Jameis Winston isn't best in class. That honor goes to…
AMARI COOPER (82 OVR) – OAKLAND RAIDERS WR (4TH OVERALL)
- 92 Speed
- 94 Agility
- 87 Catching (second only to Kevin White among rookies)
JAMEIS WINSTON (81 OVR) – TAMPA BAY BUCCANEERS QB (1ST OVERALL)
- 95 Throw Power
- 88 Throw Accuracy Short (Rookie-best)
- 81 Agility
- 75 Strength
- 73 Speed
