Cris Dishman: Purdue corner, 43 interceptions, 13 years

Cris Dishman was born on August 13, 1965 in Louisville, Kentucky, and played college football at Purdue, where he was a three-year starter and an All-Big Ten selection in 1987. The Houston Oilers drafted him in the fifth round of the 1988 draft, 125th overall. He became the starting left cornerback and in 1991 recorded six interceptions, three fumble recoveries and two forced fumbles, taking first-team All-Pro honors and his first Pro Bowl selection; Madden NFL 92 listed him at a calculated 73 for that season.

Madden NFL 94 raised him to a calculated 92 for 1993, the highest mark of his career. He started at left cornerback in Houston through 1996, the franchise's last season in the city, a year Madden NFL 97 rated at a stored 52.

Dishman signed with Washington in 1997, started 15 games and was named to a second Pro Bowl; Madden NFL 99 gave him a calculated 91 for the 1998 season. He played 1999 with the Kansas City Chiefs and 2000 with the Minnesota Vikings before retiring. He finished with 43 interceptions, three of them returned for touchdowns, over 13 seasons, and was inducted into the Kentucky Pro Football Hall of Fame.

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.
