With Madden NFL ‘19 is set to release August 10th (Aug. 7th if you pre-order the Hall of Fame edition) the popular video game franchise has started releasing player ratings.  Most recently, the franchise took to their website and instagram page to release the top 5 rookies in multiple categories, including defensive rookies.

The Chicago Bears have been highly praised locally and nationally for what they have been able to accomplish this off-season, part of which was drafting linebacker Roquan Smith eighth overall in this past April’s draft.  Smith is an exceptional player that is ready to start day one thanks to his natural tackling ability and exceptional speed. See where Madden NFL ‘19 ranked the young LB here.
