Half of the Williams Wall, dominant for five straight years

Kevin Williams and the immovable Pat Williams formed the Williams Wall, and for years no team ran up the middle on Minnesota. The Oklahoma State product paired quickness and power to collapse pockets from a spot that rarely produces rushers.

Madden gave him five consecutive 97s from the 2007 edition through 2011, an unusually long stay at the ceiling. Six Pro Bowls and five All-Pro nods later, he anchored one of the era's best run defenses.

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.
