Andre Reed: 951 catches, seven Pro Bowls, Hall of Fame 2014

Andre Darnell Reed was born on January 29, 1964, in Allentown, Pennsylvania, played quarterback at Dieruff High School and moved to wide receiver at Kutztown University, where he caught 142 passes for 2,020 yards. The Buffalo Bills selected him in the fourth round of the 1985 NFL Draft with the 86th pick. He was chosen for seven consecutive Pro Bowls from 1988 through 1994 and was named second-team All-Pro by the Associated Press in 1989 and 1990.

On January 3, 1993, Reed caught eight passes for 136 yards and three second-half touchdowns as Buffalo overturned a 32-point deficit against the Houston Oilers. He played in four straight Super Bowls, XXV through XXVIII, and recorded 27 receptions in those games. Madden NFL 93 put him at a calculated 79 for the 1992 season. He set a career high of 90 catches in 1994, with 1,303 yards, and Madden NFL 95 rated him a calculated 96 for that year.

Reed spent 15 seasons in Buffalo. Madden NFL 99 had him at a calculated 94 for 1998, and Madden NFL 2000 at a calculated 89 for 1999, his last season with the Bills. Buffalo released him in the 2000 offseason during a salary-cap purge, and he finished his career with 13 games for Washington that year. He retired with 951 receptions for 13,198 yards and 87 touchdowns and was inducted into the Pro Football Hall of Fame on August 2, 2014.

How to read these: Each row is the player’s rating in that year’s Madden, listed by the NFL season it covers (Madden NFL 2001 = the 2000 season). Madden sets its ratings before the season is played, so they reflect the previous season’s performance - a player’s breakout year tends to show up as a jump in the following year’s game.
About the starred rows*: Several early Madden releases rated players on a 1-15 scale, as printed in the game manuals, rather than the modern 0-99. We store those ratings converted to 0-99 (each manual point is about 6.6) so you can compare players across eras at a glance - use the 0-99 / 1-15 toggle above the table to see the original numbers on those seasons. EA didn’t publish an overall rating in those games, so the OVR* values for those years are our own calculation, the average of the player’s two best ratings.
Note: Some Madden releases tracked fewer attributes than others. Cells shown as - were not published by EA that year.
