Cincinnati Bengals players aren’t doing so hot in the “Madden NFL 23” ratings rollout so far.
Ja’Marr Chase was the big notable at first considering he didn’t even earn a 90 rating, to the point Tom Brady was giving him a shoutout over it.
Next up of note is star defensive end Trey Hendrickson, whose elite season a year ago doesn’t go recognized in the Madden ratings, either. He’s merely an 85, which wouldn’t be so bad if it didn’t place him essentially outside the top 20-ranked players at his position.
Normally this wouldn’t be too big of a deal, but Hendrickson has 27.5 sacks since 2020, the third-best mark in the NFL. Plus, he was the team’s only consistent pass-rush at all.
Granted, Hendrickson had an uphill climb with the ratings after the perception that his 2020 season in New Orleans was a fluke. He changed that with another elite season with the Bengals, but some parties such as Madden might still require some convincing, it seems.
