A dual threat who set receiving records for a back

Matt Forte was as dangerous catching the ball as carrying it, the centerpiece of the Chicago offense for years. The Tulane product ran smoothly, caught everything, and once set a single-season receiving record for a running back.

Madden had him at 80 as a rookie and a 95 by the 2014 edition, his most productive stretch. Two Pro Bowls and more than 14,000 scrimmage yards later, he stands among the most versatile backs of his era.

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.
