As with each year’s launch, there’s a lot of intrigue surrounding the ratings of NFL players, especially, the rookies entering their first season in the league. And this year is no different.

The 2021 NFL Draft class was stacked with sensational talent to watch out for. And now EA has revealed the highest-rated rookies available to play on Madden 22.

Zach Wilson (QB) – New York Jets – 75

Zach Wilson was drafted second overall by the Jets franchise and is seen as the man to finally lead them back to the Super Bowl. With a rating of 75, Wilson’s freakish arm strength is something that players will look to exploit.

Patrick Surtain II (CB) – Denver Broncos – 76

A cornerback for the national championship winning Alabama side, Surtain is a lockdown corner. Drafted to lift the Denver Broncos secondary, put Surtain on any wide receiver and watch him do his magic.

Jaylen Waddle (WR) – Miami Dolphins – 76

Jaylen Waddle might as well be nicknamed The Flash. The wide receiver can zip past any opponent in the blink of an eye and will be a menace to defend against on Madden 22.

Trevor Lawrence (QB) – Jacksonville Jaguars – 78

The man Jaguars fans were gladded to have tanked for in 2020. Trevor Lawrence entered the draft as the unanimous #1 draft pick and is unsurprisingly the highest-rated rookie QB on Madden 22.

Kyle Pitts (TE) – Atlanta Falcons – 81
