Sammy Watkins (Offensive Rookie of the Year?)



If I were Madden (15)

Every year since 1989, John Madden rates players on a scale of 1-99. Usually if a player has a rating below 65, they're not good, but sometimes I disagree with Madden's ratings. So for Madden 15, I'm going to rate the player as if I were Madden.
