Launch ratings for every Packers player in Madden NFL 25

How good are the Green Bay Packers in the new “Madden NFL 25” video game from EA Sports?

At launch, the young and ascending Packers offense looks underrated across the board virtually, while the defense could be menacing with a strong front, two speedy linebackers and plenty of talent in the secondary.

Here are the launch ratings for every Packers player in the game (note: not all players are in the game):

Quarterbacks

Jordan Love — 81 overall
Michael Pratt — 59 overall
Sean Clifford — 58 overall

Love’s virtual form isn’t highly respected, yet. He’s the 14th best quarterback in the game. Clearly, the Packers need Love to stay healthy in Madden because the backup situation isn’t good.

Running backs

Josh Jacobs — 89 overall
A.J. Dillon — 78 overall
MarShawn Lloyd — 73 overall
Emanuel Wilson — 63 overall

Jacobs is the seventh best running back in the game, and he’s rated one point higher than former Packers running back Aaron Jones (88). Dillon provides a solid backup, while Lloyd is the fifth-best rookie running back.

Wide receivers

Romeo Doubs — 79 overall
Jayden Reed — 78 overall
Christian Watson — 77 overall
Dontayvion Wicks — 75 overall
Bo Melton — 73 overall
Samori Toure — 67 overall
Malik Heath — 66 overall
Grant DuBose — 64 overall
Alex McGough — 51 overall (been released)

No receiver over 80 overall? You can bet the ratings of at least a few of these receivers will be going up midseason. Still, the Packers have five receivers with at least a 73 rating.

Tight ends

Luke Musgrave — 73 overall
Tucker Kraft — 69 overall
Ben Sims — 62 overall
Tyler Davis — 60 overall

Like receiver, there’s a good chance either Musgrave or Kraft will get a midseason ratings boost. Musgrave is tied for the fourth-fastest tight end at 89 speed.

Offensive line

Elgton Jenkins — 86 overall
Zach Tom — 80 overall
Rasheed Walker — 76 overall
Jordan Morgan — 74 overall
Josh Myers — 72 overall
Royce Newman — 70 overall
Andre Dillard — 69 overall
Sean Rhyan — 69 overall
Jacob Monk — 65 overall
Donovan Jennings — 64 overall
Travis Glover — 64 overall
Kadeem Telfort — 61 overall
Luke Tenuta — 61 overall
Caleb Jones — 60 overall
Lecitus Smith — 59 overall

Tom’s rating could probably be higher after a solid 2023 season. Expect him and Rasheed Walker to be quality pass protectors in the game. Morgan is listed as a left tackle.

Defensive line

Kenny Clark — 87 overall
Rashan Gary — 85 overall
Preston Smith — 79 overall
Devonte Wyatt — 74 overall
Lukas Van Ness — 74 overall
Kingsley Enagbare — 70 overall
TJ Slaton — 70 overall
Karl Brooks — 68 overall
Colby Wooden — 66 overall
Jonathan Ford — 63 overall
Brenton Cox Jr. — 62 overall
Arron Mosby — 60 overall

Deep and disruptive up front for the Packers defense. Gary should probably be a little bit better overall, but the Packers could eventually get big jumps from the likes of Van Ness, Wyatt, Slaton and Brooks.

Linebackers

Quay Walker — 79 overall
Edgerrin Cooper — 73 overall
Eric Wilson — 69 overall
Isaiah McDuffie — 69 overall
Ty’Ron Hopper — 69 overall
Kristian Welch — 63 overall

Madden likes Walker, who has 88 speed at right outside linebacker. Cooper is one of the best rookie linebackers and has 89 speed. Those two could fly around and create plenty of virtual havoc.

Cornerbacks

Jaire Alexander — 93 overall
Eric Stokes — 76 overall
Keisean Nixon — 73 overall
Carrington Valentine — 71 overall
Corey Ballentine — 71 overall
Robert Rochell — 69 overall
Kalen King — 65 overall

Alexander is the team’s best player overall and fourth best cornerback overall. In the virtual world, Stokes has the upper hand in the battle to be CB2. The Packers have five corners at 70 overall or better.

Safeties

Xavier McKinney — 85 overall
Javon Bullard — 75 overall
Evan Williams — 69 overall
Kitan Oladapo — 67 overall
Anthony Johnson Jr. — 66 overall
Tyler Coyle — 62 overall
Zayne Anderson — 62 overall
Benny Sapp III — 60 overall

Somehow, McKinney failed to crack the top 10 safeties. He’s probably underrated. Bullard is the second-highest rated rookie safety.

Kickers

Greg Joseph — 73 overall
Anders Carlson — 69 overall

Joseph, who has only missed two kicks in training camp through nine practices, gets the virtual edge over Carlson, who has 93 kick power but only 70 accuracy. Joseph has 95 kick power and 74 accuracy.
