A fast, energetic tackle machine for Green Bay

Nick Barnett flew to the ball and brought a jolt of intensity to the middle of the Green Bay defense, a fast, productive linebacker who piled up tackles. The Oregon State product was the energetic heart of the unit for years.

Madden had him at 75 as a rookie and a 94 by the 2008 edition, his best stretch. An injury cost him most of the Super Bowl XLV season, but he later added a productive run in Buffalo.

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.
