1Tyreek Hill
Overall Rating: 99
Tyreek Hill is a wide receiver for theMiami Dolphinsand has made consistent appearances sinceMadden NFL 17— making him the player with the highest number of appearances among those mentioned here. They have a wide range of high ratings among their General and Receiving Attribute categories, including a 99 rating inSpeed,Awareness,Release, as well as 5 ratings of 98. Release is how fast a player will be able to run their route after the ball is snapped, and when paired with Speed and Awareness makes him the best wide receiver in the entire game.
When it comes to his Superstar X-Factor ability, he hasRAC ‘Em Up— just like Justin. This ability is even more dangerous in Tyreek’s hands thanks to his 99 ratings in Speed and Awareness, as his Awareness will determine just how well he will be reacting to situations going on around him while moving with his increased chance of success for RAC catches. Very few players canbreak their way into the 99 club, but Tyreek Hill is one of the few to manage it.
