Madden 19: 9 Best Rookie And Veteran Players By Position

9. Quarterback - Baker Mayfield (OVR 81) & Aaron Rodgers (OVR 99)

Mayfield unsurprisingly sits atop of all other draft class quarterbacks in Madden 19 after being taken first in a signal-caller heavy draft and holding the 2017 Heisman Trophy. Initially seen to be undersized for an NFL quarterback, the scramble style of Baker allows him to come out of the pocket and somewhat nullify the size issue. Mayfield’s scramble style is emphasised by a score of 88 throwing on the run and 87 throw under pressure, allowing the user to be very mobile and come out of the pocket with ease.

The only real cause for concern is the awareness of 64. However, with a star development it should not be too difficult to increase this stat. With 94 rating throw power, every downfield ball feels like a bullet and has captured his strong arm perfectly.

Aaron Rodgers is the first member of club 99 and arguably the most talented quarterback to grace the league for the last decade. Rodgers' unique style of play and clutch throws are captured in detail in Madden 19. With Rodgers' stats, no throw is impossible, no matter how tight or unrealistic it seems. Rodgers' awareness is maxed out at 99, complimented with throw on the run and deep throw accuracy of 97 and 98 respectively making him dangerous in his patented scrambles. Throw accuracy and throw on the run are the highest for any player in the game, and with throw power of 97, any downfield sling is achievable.

The benefit to Rodgers' throw on the run and throwing under pressure allows for deep routes to take shape and receivers to find spacing. Time almost seems to slow down compared to controlling any other quarterback in the game. Rodgers is operating at full potential and can make game changing plays with ease.
