A ball-hawking rusher as dangerous with the ball as without

Jason Taylor did not just sack quarterbacks, he stripped them and took the ball the other way. The Akron product had a gift for scooping loose balls, and his six fumble returns for touchdowns remain an NFL record. He was long, quick and relentless for Miami.

Madden had him at 75 and gave him 98s in the 2004 and 2009 editions. A 2006 Defensive Player of the Year, 139.5 sacks, 48 forced fumbles, six Pro Bowls and a first-ballot Hall of Fame nod in 2017 later, his value went well past the sack total.

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.
Note: Some Madden releases tracked fewer attributes than others. Cells shown as - were not published by EA that year.
