Matt Hasselbeck Madden Career 2002-2016 - Peak 93 OVR

Matt Hasselbeck was born on September 25, 1975, in Boulder, Colorado, and played college football at Boston College. The Green Bay Packers drafted him in the sixth round of the 1998 draft, 187th overall, and he spent a year on the practice squad and two behind Brett Favre before a March 2001 trade sent him to Seattle and Mike Holmgren. He started 13 games that season, and Madden NFL 03 rated him 71 for 2002.

He made the Pro Bowl after the 2003 season and threw an overtime interception to Al Harris in the January 2004 wild-card loss at Green Bay, minutes after saying at the coin toss that Seattle wanted the ball. Madden NFL 05 moved him to 90 for 2004, when the Seahawks won the NFC West. Seattle went 13-3 in 2005 and lost Super Bowl XL to Pittsburgh. A knee sprain cost him four games in 2006, a season Madden NFL 07 graded 93, his highest figure.

He set career highs of 3,966 yards and 28 touchdowns in 2007 and made a third Pro Bowl. On January 8, 2011, he threw four touchdown passes in a 41-36 wild-card win over New Orleans, his last game in Seattle. He signed with Tennessee that July and rated 84 in Madden NFL 12 for 2011, then backed up Andrew Luck in Indianapolis and won his first four starts there at age 40 in 2015. Hasselbeck retired in March 2016 with 36,638 passing yards and entered the Seahawks Ring of Honor on October 25, 2021.
