Seasons Played

Bobby Hebert was born on August 19, 1960, in Galliano, Louisiana, and played college football at Northwestern State. He went undrafted and signed with the USFL's Michigan Panthers. On July 17, 1983, he threw for 319 yards and three touchdowns in a 24-22 win over the Philadelphia Stars at Mile High Stadium and was named MVP of the league's first championship game.

Hebert joined the New Orleans Saints in 1985 and took over as starter in 1987. On November 20, 1988, he completed 20 of 23 passes for 194 yards and three touchdowns in a 42-0 win over Denver. He sat out the 1990 season in a contract dispute, and Madden NFL 92 put him at a calculated 52 for his 1991 return, the year New Orleans finished 11-5 and won the first division title in franchise history. Madden NFL 93 listed him at a calculated 56 for 1992, when he started all 16 games.

He signed with Atlanta in 1993, started 12 games and was selected to the Pro Bowl; Madden NFL 94 put him at a calculated 53 for that season. Backing up Jeff George in 1994, he was a calculated 78 in Madden NFL 95. Hebert started again in 1996 and retired afterward with 21,683 passing yards, 135 touchdowns, 124 interceptions and a 58.9 completion percentage. He was inducted into the New Orleans Saints Hall of Fame in 1999 and the Louisiana Sports Hall of Fame in 2000.

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.
