A swaggering shutdown corner and a champion

Aqib Talib was long, physical, and a threat to take any throw the other way, a genuine shutdown corner with plenty of swagger. The Kansas product shadowed top receivers across stops in Tampa Bay, New England, Denver and Los Angeles.

Madden had him at 80 as a rookie and a 94 by the 2017 edition, in the thick of his best years. He anchored the Denver defense that won Super Bowl 50 and made five Pro Bowls, flipping games with his coverage and his hands.

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.
