Frank Winters: Hoboken-born center, Super Bowl XXXI winner

Frank Mitchell Winters was born on January 23, 1964 in Hoboken, New Jersey, lived in Union City and played at Emerson High School before going to Western Illinois. Cleveland drafted him in the tenth round, 276th overall, in 1987. He spent two seasons with the Browns, one with the New York Giants and two with Kansas City, working mainly as a long snapper, and started six games at left guard for the Chiefs in 1990.

Winters signed with Green Bay in 1992 and took over as the starting center in 1993, a season for which Madden NFL 94 carried a calculated 59. He held the job for eight straight years. He was voted to the Pro Bowl for the 1996 season and started Super Bowl XXXI on January 26, 1997, a 35-21 win over New England. Madden NFL 99 and Madden NFL 2000 each carried a calculated 92, covering 1998 and 1999, and he was a USA Today All-Pro in 1999.

He played four games without a start in 2001 and returned for a final year in 2002 with 16 appearances and ten starts; Madden NFL 03 listed him at 72 for that season. Winters was inducted into the Green Bay Packers Hall of Fame on July 18, 2008. He played 231 NFL games and started 147.

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.
