A versatile cornerstone of a dynasty

Richard Seymour could wreck a game from end or tackle, the muscle of the Patriots front that won three Super Bowls in four years. Stout against the run and disruptive against the pass, he was as complete as linemen come.

Madden gave him three straight 97s in the 2005, 2006 and 2007 editions, the height of the dynasty. Three rings, seven Pro Bowls and a Hall of Fame bust later, he set the standard for a versatile lineman.

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.
