He went undrafted, signed with the Edmonton Eskimos, and won five consecutive Grey Cups from 1978 through 1982 before joining the Houston Oilers in 1984.

He led the NFL with 4,689 passing yards and 33 touchdowns in 1990, threw for 527 yards in a 27-10 win at Kansas City on December 16 of that year, and was named AP Offensive Player of the Year.

Houston traded him to Minnesota in April 1994, a season Madden NFL 95 put at a calculated 96, and an eight-game 1996 left him at a stored 67 in Madden NFL 97. He signed with Seattle in 1997 and was named Pro Bowl MVP, and Madden NFL 99 scored the 1998 season at a calculated 92.

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.
