Madden 27 player ratings have finally arrived, giving fans an in-depth look at all the exciting playmakers in the upcoming EA title. But it's safe to say one Pittsburgh Steelers player, who's among the lowest-ranked players in the game, may be vying for a rating update before the 2026 season begins.
In Madden 27 , the Steelers have one player with the third-worst rating in the game: center Ryan McCollum at 54 overall. McCollum is just two overall points higher than 52-overall Buffalo Bills quarterback Shane Buechele, who owns the worst rating in the game.
McCollum, who signed with the Houston Texans as an undrafted free agent following the 2021 NFL Draft, was signed off the team's practice squad by the Detroit Lions in October 2021. He re-signed with the Lions in March 2022 but was released in August as a part of final roster cuts.
The Steelers quickly claimed McCollum but waived him two weeks later, only to re-sign him to the practice squad. After a few off-and-on stints with Pittsburgh's practice squad, McCollum finally made his first start with the Steelers on October 20, 2024. He also spent the entire 2025 season on the 53-man roster and appeared in 17 games.
Re-signing with the Steelers via a one-year contract in March 2026, McCollum serves as a vital depth piece on Pittsburgh's offensive line, despite the rating EA's Madden 27 gave him.
