A former wrestler who anchored a decade in San Diego

Nick Hardwick was a former wrestler with quickness and toughness, the smart, dependable center who set the protections in front of Philip Rivers for a decade. The Purdue product spent his whole career a Charger.

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.
