Two faint cards for a genuinely obscure pro

Adam Walker was a running back and fullback out of Pittsburgh who spent the early-to-mid 1990s as a special-teams body and backup, most of it in San Francisco. The details of his career are murky even in the record books, with sources disagreeing on exactly which years he spent where, which tells you how far down the roster he sat.

Madden's two cards of him are as slight as the career. The game gave him a 63 for the 1995 season and a 27 the next year after he turned up in Philadelphia, the numbers of a deep reserve the game had almost nothing to go on. Neither is really a scouting report so much as a placeholder.

Walker carried the ball a handful of times, caught a few passes, and covered kicks across roughly 45 games, the definition of a role player. He was on the field for a great 49ers team in the mid-90s and may well have a ring to show for it, though even that is hard to pin down. Madden's low grades are the faint footprint of a genuinely obscure pro.

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.
