Ryan Lilja Madden Career 2006-2013 - Peak 86 OVR
Undrafted guard who protected Peyton Manning's Super Bowl XLI line
Nobody drafted Ryan Lilja. He came out of Kansas State by way of Coffeyville Community College, signed with Kansas City as an undrafted free agent in 2004, and landed in Indianapolis, where he became a fixture on Peyton Manning's offensive line.
He started 59 of 66 games for the Colts and helped keep Manning upright during the Super Bowl XLI season, the 29-17 win over Chicago in the rain. Indianapolis valued him enough to hand an undrafted guard a five-year, $20 million contract in 2008. He later returned to the Chiefs to finish his career.
The ratings caught his climb from anonymous fill-in to trusted starter. He is a 67 in the 2005 edition, jumps to an 85 in the 2007 game, and tops out at a 90 in the 2008 Madden before settling into the 80s for the rest of his run.
