Here are Patriots' Madden 20 rookie ratings

For the common fan, one way to gauge how good an NFL player is without watching film or any of their combine drills is by checking out their rating in EA Sports' Madden Franchise. It's a simple number that has been estimated by game developers who have taken the time to do the research themselves.

The company has made it an annual tradition to release the rookie ratings in early July, which gives us an opportunity to see how we should feel about the new guys on the New England Patriots roster before training camp begins.

Leading the pack are WR N'Keal Harry (74) and Joejuan Williams (70) who are the only players rated at a 70 or above on New England's roster.
