Madden NFL 2022 Linebackers Ratings (Madden 22)

2021 NFL Season / Madden NFL 22

Madden NFL 2022 shipped in summer 2021 for the 2021 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 22 shipped August 20, 2021 with Tom Brady and Patrick Mahomes sharing the cover. The 99 club: Aaron Donald, Davante Adams, cornerback Jalen Ramsey, Mahomes, and Travis Kelce.

The Rams won Super Bowl LVI at home, 23-20 over Cincinnati, with Cooper Kupp named game MVP. Aaron Rodgers took his fourth regular-season MVP. Kupp also won Offensive Player of the Year off a receiving triple crown (1,947 yards, 145 catches, 16 touchdowns), and T.J. Watt was Defensive Player of the Year with 22.5 sacks, tying the single-season record. Ja'Marr Chase and Micah Parsons won the rookie awards, and Brady, at 44, led the league with 5,316 passing yards.

Cooper Kupp is the launch-rating story of the year: a mid-80s receiver in August who put together one of the best statistical seasons a wideout has ever had. The cover paid off too, with both Brady and Mahomes carrying their teams into the conference championship round.
