EA Sports will be stringing out Madden NFL 15 player ratings over the next two weeks. The company has now revealed the top rated quarterbacks and running backs which follow the highest rated rookies with 13 of them 78 or higher. Unfortunately "top" only means five best at each position so it wouldn't seem like there would be a great deal to analyze or argue about...though I'm sure plenty of that will still happen. Quarterback Peyton Manning (98), Aaron Rodgers (98), Drew Brees (96), ...

Top Rated Rookies in Madden NFL 15
The player rating reveals for Madden NFL 15 begin today with EA Sports releasing the top rated rookies. All those who are 78 overall and higher are noted which amounts to 13 of them.
