Madden NFL 21 Reveals Rookie QB and WR Ratings

Madden NFL 21 has revealed the ranking for rookie quarterbacks and wide receivers.

Well, EA Sports has dropped the rankings for all of those promising signal-callers and the young wideouts they will be throwing to.

Meanwhile, Miami Dolphins heir apparent Tua Tagovailoa slots in second with a 73 overall. Over on the WR side of things Oakland’s Henry Ruggs III leads the way with a 76 overall.
