NDIANAPOLIS — I'd imagine several members of the Indianapolis Colts' 2019 draft class have created themselves on an EA Sports Madden NFL game once or twice over the years.
I mean, what's better than pumping up your attributes and dominating the league week in and week out? Or you can do it the hard way and start out with a modest rating and work your way up the depth chart.
Whatever the case may be, come early next month, the members of the Colts' 2019 draft class won't need to create themselves in the game any longer. On Aug. 2, EA Sports is releasing "Madden NFL 20," which you can pre-order by clicking here.
Luckily, you don't have to wait to know how the game has rated the 10 Colts draft picks heading into the 2019 season. Continuing a tradition we started last year, here are the Madden NFL 20 overall ratings, one standout rating and one "ridiculous rating" for the entire Colts draft class:
» Cornerback Rock Ya-Sin
• Overall rating: 70
• Standout rating: Ya-Sin has a jump rating of 93.
• Ridiculous rating: Frank Reich won't be tricking any defenders by putting Ya-Sin under center; he has a playaction quarterback rating of 6.
———————
» Linebacker Ben Banogu
• Overall rating: 69
• Standout rating: Banogu has an acceleration rating of 88.
• Ridiculous rating: Despite having excellent acceleration, don't count on Banogu running the go route on offense; he has a deep route running rating of 5.
———————
» Wide receiver Parris Campbell
• Overall rating: 71
• Standout rating: Campbell has a speed rating of 94.
