Check out the best Madden NFL 15 rookie ratings. All analysis provided by Madden Ratings Czar Donnie Moore. JADEVEON CLOWNEY (83) HOUSTON TEXANS OLB (1ST OVERALL) 6'5, 266 POUNDS Moore on Clowney: Clowney can be the "Marshawn Beast Mode" of the defensive side of the ball inMadden NFL 15. His 95 Hit Power and 94 Power Moves (ranked #1 of all rookies) will make him the ultimate weapon in that Texans 3-4 defense. GREG ROBINSON (83) ST. LOUIS RAMS OL (2ND OVERALL) 6'5, 332 POUNDS Moore on Robinson: His 94 RBK makes him the third-best run blocking LG in Madden NFL 15 from day one. 73 SPD/87 ACC for a Guard is just plain silly. KHALIL MACK (81) OAKLAND RAIDERS OLB 6'3, 248 POUNDS Moore on Mack: K-Mack can do it all: Rush the passer (90 Power Moves), stop the run (91 Pursuit/84 Block Shedding), and play in coverage (74 Zone Coverage). JAKE MATTHEWS (81) ATLANTA FALCONS OL 6'5, 305 POUNDS Moore on Matthews: Matt Ryan has to be happy about the addition of Jake Matthews and his 90 Pass Block rating to the Falcons' offensive line. SAMMY WATKINS (80) BUFFALO BILLS WR 6'1, 211 POUNDS Moore on Watkins: 93/SPD/95 ACC/95 AGI gives Sammy a trifecta at some of the most important ratings in the game for WR. Don’t forget 88 Catch too. CALVIN PRYOR (79) NEW YORK JETS S 5'11, 207 POUNDS Moore on Pryor: Wham, bam. 95 Hit Power for Mr. Pryor, get ready for some Hit Sticks! AARON DONALD (79) ST LOUIS RAMS DL 6'1, 285 POUNDS Moore on Donald: Might be the most physically impressive DL prospect since Jadeveon Clowney, a few paragraphs above. 81 SPD for DT is almost unfair (fastest in all of Madden NFL 15). HAHA CLINTON-DIX (79) GREEN BAY PACKERS S 6'1, 208 POUNDS Moore on Clinton-Dix: HHCD is good at everything, great at nothing. Solid in Zone Coverage (84) and can make plays with that 74 Catch rating and 90 Speed. TAYLOR LEWAN (79) TENNESEE TITANS OL 6'7, 315 POUNDS Moore on Lewan: Lewan will be a nice addition to the Titans' line with 75 SPD/85RBK/86 PBK. BLAKE BORTLES (78) JACKSONVILLE JAGUARS QB 6'5, 232 POUNDS Moore on Bortles: Bortles grades out as our top rookie QB in Madden NFL 15. 92 THP and 73 SPD make him a mini-Andrew Luck. DARQUEZE DENNARD (78) CINCINNATI BENGALS CB 5'11, 199 POUNDS Moore on Dennard: Don’t be afraid to call man coverage (89) and press (92) with Dennard. MIKE EVANS (78) TAMPA BAY BUCCANEERS WR 6'5, 231 POUNDS Moore on Evans: Just throw the ball up to Big Mike Evans and he will go get it. 93 JMP and 89 Catch (ranked #1 rookie) make him a real problem for defenses. ZACK MARTIN (78) DALLAS COWBOYS OL 6'4, 308 POUNDS Moore on Martin: Zack Martin is a rock solid option for the Cowboys OL. Expect him to start from Week 1 with his all-around game (84 RBK/84 PBK).

You know football is almost here when a) training camp opens and b) EA Sports starts releasing Madden ratings. We got a look at Madden 15 rookie rankings -- at least the top 13 rookies anyway. And some will surprise you! Blake Bortles is the top-ranked quarterback ... above Johnny Manziel and Teddy Bridgewater. Jadeveon Clowney, in not so much of a shocker, is the top-ranked rookie overall. He's a FREAK: 88 speed is insane ... and not that far below Sammy Watkins ... It's the same as new Buccaneers wideout Mike Evans ... Check out the video below of the top players:
To take a deeper dive, we talked with EA Sports Madden Ratings Czar (we think it's official title) Donny Moore, who gave us the skinny on various rankings from this year's rookie class. ---- CBSSports.com: No JOHNNY MANZIEL in the top 10??? But seriously, where's Johnny Football -- even without the starting gig I thought his athleticism might rocket him into a weird place on this list. Dude plays like a video game in real life!
Donny Moore: Johnny Football is going to be fun to play in Madden NFL 15, make no mistake about it. He's got a great Throw on Run rating, so he can scramble and throw. But he does have a few knocks on his game at this point as a rookie – Mid Accuracy, Awareness, and Play Action all have some room for improvement.
CBS: Clowney's 83 feels right but maybe a little low, just because he's such a freak. Were you guys tempted to bump him up even more?
DM: Clowney is a stud. As an Outside Linebacker though, he has some weaknesses in Zone Coverage, Man Coverage and his Stamina. He is probably not a 3 down player at this point in his career, but will be one of the best in the game at rushing the passer with his 88 Speed and 94-rated Power Moves.
CBS: How does Clowney compare to other previous rookie defensive players? How about Greg Robinson against other rookie linemen?
DM: Clowney and G-Rob are great rookies but not quite the best we have ever seen coming into Madden NFL. Mario Williams was 86 OVR in Madden 07, and Reggie Bush was highest ever at 88 OVR, a record which still stands today. Greg Robinson has the highest incoming Run Block (94) since Mike Iupati in Madden 11 (Iupati was 95).
CBS: Blake Bortles has to be an upset as the top-ranked QB for the rooks over Manziel and Teddy Bridgewater. Was this a conscious decision by you guys at EA or did you plug in the ratings for the guys and just happen to see him spit out on top once things shook out?
DM: The Throw Power of Bortles is what put him over the top over Manziel and Bridgewater, as he comes out with a 92 in that category. Teddy has some advantages in short and mid accuracy, but his deep accuracy set him back a bit OVR-wise.
CBS: Sammy Watkins is stout at 80. If I recall correctly that tops Julio Jones Madden 12 rating and is equal to A.J. Green's rating. Do you think Watkins and Mike Evans (an impressive 78) stack up favorably with Jones and Green?
DM: Sammy Watkins reminds us a lot of Percy Harvin, great speed, great moves after the catch, and top notch hands/playmaking ability. Mike Evans is a bit slower but he is a mini-TE lining up outside at 6'5”, 230 lbs. We don't have either Watkins or Evans grading out as high overall in comparison to Julio Jones/A.J. Green of the 2011 Draft.
CBS: What sort of SPD rating is Watkins looking at?
DM: Sammy is sitting pretty with 93 SPD/95ACC/95 AGI…To go along with 88 Catch rating, watch out AFC East cornerbacks!
CBS: Are there any other eye-popping individual traits from these players? (Like Jake Matthews and a 99 awareness as a rookie or something?)
DM: Clowney 94 Power Moves (#1 ranked rookie)/88 SPD/92 ACC/95 Hit Power (ties him with Calvin Pryor for #1 ranked rookie) ... Greg Robinson 73 SPD/87ACC/93 STR/94 RBK (ties him for #3 out of all LG's in Madden 15) ... Jake Matthews 90 Pass Block…Aaron Donald 81 SPD (ranked #1 for DT in Madden)/93 STR ... Darqueze Dennard 92 Press/89 Man Coverage/90 SPD ... Khalil Mack 87 SPD/90 Power Moves/91 Pursuit ...
CBS: Were you guys surprised Calvin Pryor ended up so high? Does playing for Rex Ryan have anything to do with that or just his natural abilities? He looks like the "steal" of the draft based on Madden ratings, yeah?
DM: Calvin Pryor will start from Day 1 in that Jets secondary with his 95 Hit Power/85 SPD/78 Tackle/76 Zone Coverage ratings. I like what he brings to the table and think he was absolutely worth being the first safety off the board over HaHa Clinton-Dix.
CBS: Will Clowney's rating fluctuate if you move him from DE to LB?
DM: Yes it will, he will increase to a 92 Overall if you move him to DE (his natural position). That is NOT intentional though, if/when the Texans move him to the DE position, expect some rating adjustments to reflect his new position (which would more than likely lower him from 92). Things like Zone Coverage are factored in at OLB for OVR rating, so that is why there are two different grades.
