'Honey Buns,' the undrafted center who anchored McNabb's Eagles

Undrafted out of Division I-AA Robert Morris in 2000, Hank Fraley was cut by his hometown Steelers before he ever anchored a line in Philadelphia. Nicknamed Honey Buns, he became Donovan McNabb's center and the pivot of the Eagles' offensive line through their best stretch, starting five straight seasons from 2001 to 2005 and snapping in Super Bowl XXXIX, the 24-21 loss to New England.

He lost his job to Jamaal Jackson in 2006 and was dealt to Cleveland, where he started for four more years before finishing with the 2010 Rams. Never a mauler, he won with leverage, intelligence, and clean line calls.

His Madden trajectory reads the way an undrafted lineman's should. He was a 51 in the 2001 edition and a 62 in 2002 before breaking through to 86 and 87 across the mid-decade releases. The high point came late, an 89 in the 2008 edition during his Cleveland run, before the number slid into the high 70s and low 80s to close out in 2011.

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.
