Lions receive full team Madden ratings (and they're par for the course)

With Madden teasing the release of its latest iteration of the classic video game, they've begun to slowly release the grades for each NFL team headed into the 2025 season. For the Detroit Lions, fans were expecting some pretty high marks for a team that is still considered a Super Bowl contender despite a few key departures this offseason. Madden didn't disappoint in that regard. The Lions were given five players with grades of 90 or higher, with 12 players earning a respectable 84 or higher grade from the video game maker. Amon-Ra St. Brown earned the highest marks for Detroit overall with a 96 grade. Rookies were given grades prior to the full reveal, with the top rookie graded for the Lions being Tyleik Williams with a grade of 77. Detroit has cleaned up well in this year's grades, with no real complaints here. Let's compare their grades to the rest of the NFC North's stars. The top rated Lions players are as follows: Amon-Ra St. Brown: 96 Penei Sewell: 96 Jahmyr Gibbs: 95 Aidan Hutchinson: 93 Kerby Jose
