Cam Akers said this offseason that he won’t be satisfied until he’s viewed as one of the three best running backs in the NFL. He’s not quite there yet, and the ratings gurus at EA Sports would agree with that.
EA released ratings for running backs in “Madden NFL 23” and while Akers came in above 80 overall, he’s not among the 10 best players at his position. With an overall rating of 83, he’s the 19th-best running back in the game, just behind David Montgomery and James Robinson.
Darrell Henderson Jr. didn’t crack the top 30 at running back, earning a 79 overall rating in the game. That put him 35th at his position, tied with Chase Edmonds, Clyde Edwards-Helaire and Kenyan Drake.
