Madden NFL 2002 Linebackers Ratings

2001 NFL Season / Madden NFL 2002

Madden NFL 2002 shipped in summer 2001 for the 2001 NFL season. Launch ratings are set before the season is played, so they reflect the previous year’s performance - a player’s breakout shows up in the next year’s game.

Madden NFL 2002 released August 20, 2001 with Vikings quarterback Daunte Culpepper on the cover. The 99 club: Jonathan Ogden, Marshall Faulk, Ray Lewis, Tony Gonzalez, and Warren Sapp.

New England won Super Bowl XXXVI, 20-17 over the Rams on a last-second Vinatieri field goal, Tom Brady named game MVP. Kurt Warner won regular-season MVP, Marshall Faulk took Offensive Player of the Year, and Michael Strahan won Defensive Player of the Year with a record 22.5 sacks. Anthony Thomas and Kendrell Bell won the rookie awards.

Cover man Culpepper was the curse poster child: 14 interceptions, a knee injury, and a 5-11 Vikings team a year after a Pro Bowl. Strahan went the other way, breaking the single-season sack record.
