EA Sports released its Madden 26 ratings on Wednesday, and while Travis Hunter was the top-rated rookie, where did his former Colorado football teammate and Cleveland Browns rookie Shedeur Sanders land?
Sanders experienced an unprecedented draft slide and was not selected by the Browns until the fifth round, but he still ranks as Madden 26’s No. 4 rookie quarterback. Sanders holds an overall rating of 67, which is higher than his Browns teammate Dillon Gabriel (66 OVR).

The former Colorado star also owns a 78 speed rating, 65 strength, 81 agility, 79 change of direction, 94 injury and 58 awareness.
It is mildly surprising to see Tyler Shough ranked ahead of Sanders, but with Shough’s speed rating sitting at 84, the difference likely comes from that.
Sanders will have a chance to improve his rating throughout the season, and so far during training camp, he has looked the part.
