A fast, sticky corner for a decade and a half

Johnathan Joseph shadowed top receivers and took the ball away for well over a decade, a fast, technically sound corner for the Bengals and then the Texans. The South Carolina product stayed productive deep into his thirties.

Madden had him at 80 as a rookie and a 94 by the 2012 edition, off a strong first season in Houston. Two Pro Bowls in, durability and coverage carried a long career.

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.
