An undrafted convert who became a perennial All-Pro

Brian Waters went undrafted, converted from tight end to guard, and became one of the best interior blockers of his era for Kansas City. The North Texas product was a powerful run blocker who anchored lines that fueled elite rushing attacks.

Madden built him up to a 96 by the 2007 edition, the height of a run of Pro Bowl seasons. Six Pro Bowls and a strong late year protecting Tom Brady later, he outworked his pedigree into stardom.

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.
