Following a catastrophic 2022 season, New England Patriots quarterback Mac Jones was obviously doomed from the start when it came to his “Madden NFL 24” rating.
EA Sports recently released the player ratings for the upcoming video game, and Jones landed a 74 overall rating, which is ranked 24th among all NFL quarterbacks.
That number is tied with Carolina Panthers rookie quarterback Bryce Young, who hasn’t even taken an official NFL snap yet. Jones finished the 2022 season with 2,997 passing yards, 14 touchdowns and 11 interceptions.
Granted, the stats alone don’t tell the full story. Jones also had a defensive coach calling the offensive plays, and the Patriots’ receiving corps was once again one of the weakest in the entire league. But to be fair, this rating isn’t the sort of travesty we saw with the Rhamondre Stevenson rating.
