Former Texas star Bijan Robinson's Madden '24 rating tops all incoming rookies

Madden NFL ratings are out and the Texas rookies are ready to prove that they're better than the arbitrary stats the game says they are.

Atlanta Falcons running back Bijan Robinson was picked No. 8 overall after having the most total yards in college football last season to go along with 20 touchdowns. He leads the way for UT's 2023 draft class with an 81 overall rating, which ranks him 24th among NFL backs.

It's also the highest rating among all rookies, with Philadelphia Eagles defensive tackle Jalen Carter coming in second at 79. Former Alabama and current Detroit Lions running back Jahmyr Gibbs is the next highest-rated rookie running back at 77.

Robinson is one of the highest-rated Longhorns in Madden, only topped by Seahawks safety Quandre Diggs at 87 overall and Baltimore Ravens kicker Justin Tucker, a potential Hall of Famer at 91. The next best-rated UT rookie is Chicago Bears running back Roschon Johnson (70).

Nevertheless, things could change as the year goes on. Who knows where each player's rating ends up at the end of the season?

Here's how the rest of Texas' rookies stack up, along with some other former players.
