Double-digit sacks from the interior

At his best, Marcell Dareus was a dominant interior force, big and strong with surprising quickness. The Alabama product, a top-five pick, formed a fearsome tandem with Kyle Williams on the Buffalo front.

Madden had him at 82 as a rookie and a 94 by the 2015 edition, off his 2014 season, when he recorded double-digit sacks from the middle and earned first-team All-Pro honors. A Pro Bowl in, that peak was as disruptive as any tackle's.

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.
