It's been slowly leaking over the past few weeks but today is the day. Earlier Tuesday morning, the complete rosters and rankings were released for Electronic Arts' latest rendition of Madden '19.
That, in turn, also means that we have our first glimpse at the rankings for the Minnesota Vikings players!
Topping the chart in the "overall ranking" category for the Minnesota Vikings was safety Harrison Smith who logged in with a rating of 97 on the Madden charts. He was followed closely by Everson Griffen and Xavier Rhodes who came in with a 92 rating, followed by Stefon Diggs and Linval Joseph graded at 90.
While real life optimism is high, the Madden rating team remains skeptical on new quarterback Kirk Cousins who could only log an 82 on the Initial release.
And our guy Kevin McDermott (listed as a TE) came in dead last with a 51 rating.
*It should be noted that these rankings will shift throughout the season depending on each players on field success...
