Eagles news: Guess where Miles Sanders ranks among RBs on Madden 23

Madden NFL 23 Ratings Reveal Week is well underway, and even though the gaming world’s best football simulation doesn’t drop until Friday, August 20th, Philadelphia Eagles fans can’t wait to attack the franchise mode knowing their team has one of the more impressive rosters in pro football.

The overall ratings for the NFL’s wide receivers and edge rushers were introduced by Electronic Arts on July 18th and 19th respectively. Running back ratings were unveiled on July 20th. If you found yourself pulling those up to see where Miles Sanders landed, trust us on this one. You aren’t alone.

Eagles star Miles Sanders is ranked as the 24th-best running back on Madden NFL 23.

We know you’re curious. Here’s how the top ten running backs were ranked (along with their overall grade).

1. Derrick Henry, Tennessee Titans (97)
2. Christian McCaffrey, Carolina Panthers (96)
3. Nick Chubb, Cleveland Browns (96)
4. Jonathan Taylor, Indianapolis Colts (95)
5. Dalvin Cook, Minnesota Vikings (94)
6. Joe Mixon, Cincinnati Bengals (93)
7. Alvin Kamara, New Orleans Saints (90)
8. Aaron Jones, Green Bay Packers (89)
9. Austin Ekeler, Los Angeles Chargers (88)

Josh Jacobs, Leonard Fournette, Kareem Hunt, Saquon Barkley, Cordarrelle Patterson, Najee Harris, David Montgomery, James Robinson, Cam Akers, and Chris Carson took up residency from the 11th spot to the 20th. Miles Sanders landed at 24, behind Melvin Gordon, Damien Harris, and Javonte Williams.

Sure, none of this will guarantee failure or success. That will always be decided by play on the field, but Madden ratings are always intriguing. Like Pro Football Focus’ stat engine or Fantasy football tiers it kind of gives us an idea about how players are valued and what’s expected of them.

If you don’t believe Madden ratings matter, just ask Haason Reddick or any other NFL star who isn’t pleased with his measurables. If you’re interested, Boston Scott, Kenneth Gainwell, Jason Huntley, and Kennedy Brooks earned overall grades of 75, 74, 65, and 63 respectively.
