Madden 19: 9 Best Rookie And Veteran Players By Position

DJ Moore enters the league at the 24th pick of the 2018 draft, and comes with high expectations. The success of Christian McCaffrey at the Panthers in the previous year gives the Carolina rookie a prominent example of how they can slot into place almost immediately.

Standing at just 6ft dead doesn’t sound like a deep field threat and relatively small in the world of NFL giants, but with a 39.5 inch vertical jump at the combine, translated to a 93 rating jump and 91 agility makes Moore similar to a great white shark breaching the surface to catch a seal. Moore has a long way to go to develop into an elite wide receiver and probably won’t be a day one starter, but with the right focus and experience, stats should easily build up.

Moore is well rounded in short, medium and deep route running, all in the low 80s and leaves room to focus on one in particular, mostly suited to medium routes with a 83 catch in traffic rating. 93 Speed rating makes DJ Moore the fastest rookie wide receiver in the game.

Antonio Brown is so good, he graces the cover of the game; following on from Tom Brady (2018), Rob Gronkowski (2017) and Odell Beckham (2016), Brown is keeping very good company. Brown can only be described as a freak of nature.

Looking back to 2010, Brown entered the NFL in the 6th round and the world of NFL was clearly not ready for what a game-changing player he would become. Madden 19 gives Antonio an overall rank of 99, and the only surprise here is they did not break the mould and give him the 100 mark.

Speed and acceleration at 92 and 93 respectively make Brown eye-wateringly quick from the snap, and with a breakneck juke rating of 97, very little can stop him when deep down the field. Catching rating of 99 and spectacular catch rating of 98 make Brown one of the most fun receivers to throw to on the game - it feels like he wears gloves made up of superglue.
