In about two weeks, EA Sports will release Madden NFL '27 ahead of the 2026 NFL season.
Every year, before the latest edition of the game is released, Madden's player rankings are made public for gamers. Their calculation process for these rankings is extensive, and each position has measurements weighted differently. A lot of the ranking has to do with their performance over the last season, which is why Washington Commanders quarterback Jayden Daniels finished with only a 79 overall rating , while 2024 classmates Drake Maye and Caleb Williams finished inside the top 10.
Yes, Daniels was wildly disrespected, but he only played in seven games last season. Even in the games he played, Daniels was nursing injuries, so his game wasn't up to par with his 2024 season.
Daniels isn't the only one disrespected by Madden this year, though. In the rookie rankings, first-round draft pick Sonny Styles ranks 13th overall. He is the highest-ranked MIKE, but he landed behind guys like Keldric Faulk, Malachai Lawrence, and Akheem Mesidor, all of whom were drafted after him in the 2026 NFL Draft. Styles was the No. 7 overall pick, and many believed he'd go somewhere in the top five.
Styles received an overall grade of 78. The breakdown is as follows: Speed - 90, strength - 74, agility - 81, change of direction - 77, injury - 87, and awareness - 78.
It's interesting how change of direction and agility are such different numbers when they go hand in hand. Styles' speed and agility are enough to overcome any perceived lack of awareness. It's possible that the game will adjust his ranking once the season starts, but this is not what was expected for Styles.
The rest of the Commanders ' rookies received the following overall rankings: Antonio Williams - 73, Joshua Josephs - 72, Kaytron Allen - 71, Matt Gulbin - 64, and Athan Kaliakmanis - 62.
While these rankings won't change by much even after the season starts, the good news is that they have no bearing on the actual NFL season. Gamers can pre-order Madden '27 now. Standard edition and public availability for the game is August 13, while existing MVP+ members get access on August 6, and Deluxe edition buyers get access on August 10.
