In a couple of months Madden 23 will be released, and it's always a big deal for the players and fans to see what their virtual self is rated overall. Last year Steelers safety Minkah Fitzpatrick's rating was a huge discussion point as the All-Pro safety was rated at 89 on the game.
These safeties were all rated above or the same as Fitzpatrick in Madden 22 -- Chiefs safety Tyrann Mathieu (95), Cardinals safety Budda Baker (93), Patriots safety Devin McCourty (93), Bengals safety Jessie Bates III (91), Broncos safety Justin Simmons (91), Seahawks safety Jamal Adams (90), Vikings safety Harrison Smith (90), Bears safety Eddie Jackson (89), and Packers safety Adrian Amos (89).
“I don’t even know what to say anymore,” Fitzpatrick tweeted.

The most notable quarterback for Steelers fans not on the list is Mitchell Trubisky. Trubisky was rated as a 67 in Madden 22. In 2021 which was his last year as a starter for the Bears he was ranked a 72 overall. So not much of a vote of confidence from the Madden ratings adjusters.
