Anthony McFarland Madden Career 2000-2006 - Peak 94 OVR
Booger, a disruptive tackle on two champions
Anthony McFarland, known as Booger, was a quick, powerful defensive tackle who anchored the middle of the dominant Tampa Bay defense that won Super Bowl XXXVII. The LSU product later won a second ring after a trade to Indianapolis.
Madden had him at 81 and a 94 by the 2004 edition, his most disruptive stretch. A knee injury eventually ended things, but he left as a two-time champion who collapsed pockets from the inside.
