Chidobe Awuzie Madden Career 2018-2026 - Peak 85 OVR

Chidobe Awuzie was a second-round pick out of Colorado in 2017, a physical outside corner Dallas developed into a starter over four seasons, playing through hamstring and groin trouble on the boundary. He was solid rather than spectacular in Dallas, just the homegrown corner a team lets walk in free agency and sometimes regrets.

The Madden card climbed slowly at first, a 76 rookie edging up through the low 80s during his Cowboys years, then found its peak after he left. He signed with Cincinnati in 2021 and became a key starter on the Bengals' run to Super Bowl LVI, picking off Matthew Stafford in the game itself, and the grade rose to an 85 peak in Madden NFL 24. His best football, and his biggest stage, came in a different uniform than the one that drafted him.

A torn ACL in 2022 interrupted the Cincinnati run, but he came back and later signed a real contract with Tennessee before landing in Baltimore, a reliable veteran corner into his thirties. Awuzie is the story of a player who was good in Dallas and better afterward, precisely the steady pro whose value the ratings only fully recognized once he was gone. The climb to an 85 tracks a corner who quietly kept getting better.
