He rushed for 1,116 yards as a senior at South Carolina in 1996 and was a first-team All-SEC selection. The Philadelphia Eagles drafted him in the third round of the 1997 NFL draft, 71st overall.

Staley started all 16 games in 1999, a season Madden NFL 2000 listed at a calculated 85, and Madden NFL 2001 put his 2000 rating at 88 before a Lisfranc fracture limited him to five games.

He signed a five-year contract with the Pittsburgh Steelers on March 9, 2004, and rushed for 830 yards in 10 games that season, which Madden NFL 05 listed at 85. He was part of the Steelers team that won Super Bowl XL and was released in December 2006. Staley finished with 5,785 rushing yards, 24 rushing touchdowns and 287 receptions for 2,587 yards.

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.
