The preliminary player ratings for Madden NFL 20 have been released. Here are the notable Washington Redskins ratings including the team’s top-rated player, Trent Williams.

The preliminary Madden NFL 20 ratings have officially been released. Every offseason, these ratings generate quite a bit of buzz, as fans everywhere attempt to dissect which players are overrated and underrated before the season officially begins.

That will include the Redskins fan base. With a lot of questions surrounding the team and debate about certain players taking place, these ratings will surely stir up some conversation among fans.

Of the entire Redskins team, only one player managed to crack the 90-overall mark. That would be left tackle Trent Williams. Williams is the second-highest rated left tackle in the game, receiving a 95 overall rating. He finds himself behind only Green Bay Packers tackle David Bakhtiari and one point ahead of Dallas Cowboys tackle Tyron Smith. The latter point will surely be used in some Redskins/Cowboys debates about who has the best overall tackle.

The team’s best defensive player rating belongs to Ryan Kerrigan. The productive pass rusher received an 87-overall rating good for third among players listed as left outside linebackers (LOLB). The only two edge players ahead of him on that side of the line were the elite duo of Khalil Mack (99) and Von Miller (97). It’s nice to see Kerrigan ranking within shouting distance of those players and getting the respect that he deserves.

Here’s a brief overview of some of the other notable ratings for the Redskins, per EA.com.

Of these ratings, the most surprising belong to Collins and Allen. Collins has long been one of the best tackling safeties in the NFL and he is also solid in coverage. Seeing him come in at just an 83 overall, tied for 11th-best among strong safeties, is surprising.

Meanwhile, Allen’s rating of an 82 is respectable, but the bigger surprise is that he ranks a single point behind his linemates Ioannidis and Payne. Perhaps Allen’s well-rounded game doesn’t get as much attention in Madden as Ioannidis’ pure pass-rushing ability and Payne’s sheer size and run-stuffing prowess.

Elsewhere, the team’s quarterback depth chart was also of interest. Alex Smith unsurprisingly topped the list, as Madden will still allow players to use the injured quarterback, but the healthy players on the roster were particularly close. Here’s a look at the ratings there.

Having Haskins and Keenum closely rated in the middle of the pack isn’t much of a surprise, but McCoy coming in at just a 62 is. McCoy is still one of the better backups in the game, so seeing him fall below guys like DeShone Kizer, Josh Dobbs, Brett Hundley, and Matt Barkley is certainly surprising. His rating certainly seems bound to change at some point.

And for those wondering, Woodrum isn’t actually the lowest-rated Redskins player in the game. That distinction belongs to backup long snapper Andrew East. He is listed as a tight end and sports a 43 overall rating. That said, among non-long snappers, Woodrum is the lowest rated player in Madden as of the launch.
