Fans slam Madden 24 ratings after Terry McLaurin gets higher overall than A.J. Brown, CeeDee Lamb - “War crime”

Football fans could not believe Electronic Arts ranked Terry McLaurin over A.J. Brown and CeeDee Lamb.

EA released a six-second video showing the top ten wide receivers in Madden 24. McLaurin got a 92 rating, while Brown was one point lower. Lamb isn't even in the top ten, getting an 88 overall rating.

The rankings led a football enthusiast to comment:

“Terry being over AJB is a war crime”

Another one said:

“No Ceedee? No Jaylen Waddle? Cmon”

Here are other comments regarding Terry McLaurin getting a higher ranking than A.J. Brown and CeeDee Lamb.

Terry McLaurin had 1,191 yards and five touchdowns for the Washington Commanders last season. It's his third straight 1000-yard season, the kind of production Washington is looking for after signing him to a three-year, $68.3 million contract extension last offseason.

His 15.5 yards per catch also ranked third among wide receivers with at least 75 receptions in the 2022 season. Meanwhile, his 70.1 yards per game is ninth among wideouts who played 17 regular season games last year.

The former Ohio State standout is also tied for 12th with Garrett Wilson in catches for first downs with 56.

Reigning Offensive Player of the Year Justin Jefferson is first on the list with a 99 rating, while Tyreek Hill isn't far behind with 98. Davante Adams (97), Cooper Kupp (96), and Stefon Diggs (96) complete the top five.

Also in the top ten are Ja'Marr Chase (94), DeAndre Hopkins (93), and Amari Cooper (91).
