00:00Now, everybody sometimes isn't happy, Joe, when you talk about the Madden 26 ratings.

00:04I should be rated higher.

00:06Why am I so low here?

00:07Notable Madden ratings here for 2026.

00:10Travis Hunter at an 84.

00:11Ashton Gentry at a 83.

00:14Abdul-Kardas, 81.

00:15Mason Grams at an 80.

00:17Cam Ward down here in these streets at a 72, despite being the number one overall pick.

00:21And then there's Shadua Sanders coming in at a 67.

00:24Guys, quabble about this.

00:26You'll see it during the regular season.

00:27If they play good, those numbers will increase.

00:29But how are we feeling about some of those ratings here for the rookies in Madden this year?

00:34I just think it's interesting, right?

00:35So what do you do with a guy that can be a two-way starter, legit two-way starter here, right, with Travis Hunter?

00:43So 84, I don't think, is the highest rookie rating we've ever seen.

00:47I think Andrew Luck and Reggie Bush were actually higher than that.

00:52But, I mean, what do you do with a guy that can actually help you on defense and help you on offense?

00:57What is he?

00:58What is the rate, like, I'm kind of shocked it's as low as it is because the rest of the guys, I mean, Jente is the second highest rate.

01:06What are we getting from him?

01:07Do we have any idea what Jente from, you know, from a Boise State is going to do in the NFL?

01:13Well, I have no idea with him.
