After releasing the top 5 quarterbacks, rookies, running backs, and fullbacks, EA Sports is continuing to release the top 5 at each skill position. The latest released rankings are for wide receivers and tight ends.
It should come as no surprise that Calvin Johnson is the top rated wide receiver with a 99 overall rating. Johnson has been unstoppable during his career, including a season in which he broke Jerry Rice’s single season receiving record. The top 5 are listed below.
1) Calvin Johnson – 98 Overall
2) Brandon Marshall – 96 Overall
3) Andre Johnson – 95 Overall
4) AJ Green – 95 Overall
5) Dez Bryant – 94 Overall
When it comes to tight ends, Jimmy Graham is universally revered as the top player at the position. He tops the list of tight ends with a 97 overall rating. The top 5 are listed below.
1) Jimmy Graham – 97 Overall
2) Rob Gronkowski – 96 Overall
3) Vernon Davis – 94 Overall
4) Jason Witten – 93 Overall
5) Greg Olsen – 88 Overall
There is a much more drastic drop between Jason Witten and Greg Olsen on the ranking, which may be because star tight ends are hard to find in the NFL.
Madden 15 will release August 26.
