Madden 16: 8 Most Shocking AFC Player Ratings

By Michael Potts /

1. Rob Gronkowski - 99

Rob Gronkowski is the top tight end in the NFL. Personally, I don't think there's much doubt about that, but is he really worthy of being one of just three 99-rated players? That's questionable. Gronk had a fantastic 2014, resulting in a Super Bowl win, but being placed above every other player in the league not called Aaron Rodgers or J.J. Watt is a huge statement. The NFL Top 100 had him down as Number 10 earlier this year, while he was ranked 41st before last season. Placing him in the Top 3 is likely to be a controversial decision by those who don't frequent Gillette Stadium during the football season.
