An underrated interior rusher who lasted

Maliek Collins was a third-round pick in 2016 who started as a rookie and stuck, an interior pass rusher whose value was getting after the quarterback from inside rather than stuffing the run.

Madden climbed him from a 69 to a 76 by the 2020 edition and mostly held him in the low-to-mid 70s, never a double-digit-sack season but nearly 30 career sacks of steady, durable production. He became a well-traveled veteran after Dallas, the Raiders, Houston, San Francisco and Cleveland, still starting into his thirties, a rusher who lasted far longer than his modest ratings suggested.

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.
