Joe Burrow earns second-highest quarterback rating in Madden NFL 24

Former LSU quarterback Joe Burrow has quickly become one of the top quarterbacks in the NFL.

The first overall pick in 2020, Burrow missed much of his rookie year due to injury but has led the Cincinnati Bengals to deep playoff runs in the two seasons since, including a near Super Bowl win against the Los Angeles Rams following the 2021 season.

The development team for the upcoming Madden NFL 24 video game has recognized his talent, giving him a 95 overall rating. That’s the second-highest rating among quarterbacks behind Patrick Mahomes (99), and it even ranks above the game’s cover athlete, Josh Allen (94).

Burrow isn’t the only player from LSU’s 2019 team to receive love from the Madden team, as Justin Jefferson earned one of the game’s elusive 99 overall ratings, making him the only receiver in the game at that level.
