MADDEN 26 Rookie Ratings Fully Revealed With Travis Hunter And Ashton Jeanty Atop The Rankings
As far as quarterback rankings go, I don't think anyone will have a problem with the top four quarterbacks in the game. Allen and Jackson are, for certain, the best quarterbacks in the league, and Joe Burrow is most definitely a close third, although his lack of rushing is probably somewhat limiting his upside.
Both Allen and Mahomes possess the Bazooka X-Factor ability, which increases their maximum throw distance when they enter the zone. Lamar Jackson is the only quarterback in the game with the Truzz ability. When he enters the one, no tackles made against him will result in a fumble. Meanwhile, Joe Burrow and Jalen Hurts have the Run & Gun ability, which grants them perfect accuracy while throwing on the run. The only other quarterback with an X-Factor ability is Jayden Daniels, an Escape Artist, which increases his scramble speed when he enters the zone.
Remember, these ratings are not set in stone. EA updates Madden each week throughout the season, adjusting player ratings based on how they perform in real life.
Madden NFL 26 is set to release on August 14th. Those who purchase the Deluxe Edition or MVP Bundle can begin playing one week early, starting August 7th.
