Richard Ash Madden Career Madden NFL 2018 - Peak 63 OVR

Richard Ash was a Western Michigan defensive tackle out of the football hotbed of Pahokee, Florida, an undrafted lineman who signed with Jacksonville in 2015 and eventually found his way to Dallas. He was a deep-roster interior body, a big tackle a defense keeps around for depth against the run.

The Madden card is short and honest. It rose from a 63 to a 65 peak in Madden NFL 19, both cards labeled Dallas, the grade of a rotational tackle whose most meaningful playing time came with the Cowboys in 2017, ten games and a couple of starts. The number nudged up slightly but never had much to work with, a fair read on a thin NFL record of thirteen games and no sacks.

His NFL time ended after that Dallas stretch, the common fate of an undrafted depth tackle. Ash is the deep end of a defensive front, the run-stuffing body who gets a season of real snaps and then moves on, useful and anonymous. The short 63-to-65 card is the honest read on a career whose high point was a handful of Cowboys games.
