The disrespect continues.
Madden 26 ratings are out, and you won’t be surprised to know that the Tennessee Titans‘ rookie quarterback did not get a good mark. Ward got the second lowest rating on Madden of any first round pick, only ahead of Jaxson Dart. Ward got a 72. Dart got a 68.
Here is the Madden 26 rating for every 2025 first round pick

It is going to be fun to watch Ward prove all of the doubters wrong.
Here is the full list of Madden ratings for the Titans’ rookies:
Full #Madden26Ratings for #Titans rookie class:
QB Cam Ward 72
EDGE Femi Oladejo 74
S Kevin Winston Jr 71
WR Elic Ayomanor 71
WR Chimere Dike 70
LG Jackson Slater 68
TE Gunnar Helm 67
RB Kalel Mullings 70
CB Marcus Harris 69— Justin M (@JustinM_NFL) July 30, 2025
It is a little surprising to me that Femi Oladejo gets the highest rating in the class. Oladejo has a plenty of upside, but there is no doubt he is going to need some work on refining his skills working off the EDGE.
On a funny side note, Jackson Slater’s rating was initially leaked as a 75. That was either an error, or it was changed after the initial run. Slater had a pretty funny response to it on Twitter:
I rode the 75 overall high while I could https://t.co/Qk3maBVJ3T
