Josh Ball Madden Career 2022-2024 - Peak 63 OVR

Josh Ball is enormous, six-foot-eight, a developmental tackle whose college road ran from Florida State through junior college to Marshall, where he earned all-conference honors. Dallas took him in the fourth round in 2021 as a project, betting the frame and the tools would develop into a starter with time.

They mostly did not, and the Madden card says so plainly. It sat in the low 60s across his releases, peaking at just a 63, the grade of a player who barely saw the field, all of his handful of career games coming in a single season and none of them starts. Injuries, an ankle and a hip among them, kept interrupting whatever development the coaching staff hoped for, and the number never had reason to move.

Dallas released him in 2024, and a brief stop in New Orleans ended in a waiver, the quiet close of a career that never really got going. Ball is the developmental swing that misses, a big, toolsy tackle whose body and reps never came together. The flat low-60s card is the honest, unadorned read on a project who did not pan out.
