An 11th-round pick who started every line spot

Raleigh McKenzie was the 290th pick of the 1985 draft, an 11th-rounder out of Tennessee, and he stretched that into a 16-year, 227-game career by playing anywhere on the line. Guard was his listing and center his specialty, but Washington could drop him into any of the five spots and lose nothing. He won two Super Bowls there, XXII and XXVI, and earned All-NFL recognition for the 1991 team that steamrolled the league.

He is also one half of a set of identical twins. His brother Reggie played at Tennessee too and later ran the Raiders as general manager. After a decade in Washington, McKenzie kept going with the Eagles, Chargers, and Packers through 2000.

Madden caught up to him late. He is a 75 in the 1996 edition, then jumps all the way to a career-high 89 in the 2000 game, a quiet nod to a veteran interior lineman who simply never came off the field.

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.
