Cam Ward Not Listed in Madden 26 Top 10 Rookies List originally appeared on Athlon Sports. With the NFL season right around the corner, fans across the country were eager to see EA Sports’ latest update for Madden NFL 26. On Tuesday, the official Madden NFL 26 account on X (formerly Twitter) revealed the top 10 rookie player ratings.

While Ward is the highest-rated quarterback ahead of Jaxson Dart (68), Shough (68) and Shedeur Sanders (67), he is one of the lowest-rated No. 1 picks in the history of the video game. Here are more details on where Ward ranks among the lowest ratings earned by a top pick.

Tennessee Titans rookie quarterback Cam Ward does not rank anywhere near the top 10 rookies in the Madden 26 initial player ratings released by EA Sports on July 30. Ward's initial rating is a 72 overall, tops among the rookie quarterbacks but well off of Travis Hunter's 84 overall rating to lead all rookies.
