Seasons Played

Cameron Jordan rarely missed a game and rarely had a quiet one, a stout run defender and relentless rusher who was the durable cornerstone of the New Orleans defense for more than a decade. The California product led the front by example.

Madden had him at 77 as a rookie and a 96 by the 2020 edition, then held him high for years. Multiple Pro Bowls and well over 100 career sacks later, he climbed near the top of the franchise sack list.

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.
