Chase not being in the top 10 is the head scratcher. DJ and both these guys get motivation from this though.

They all want to be #1 at their respective positions and stay there for a long damn time.

Hendrickson also. Who might be the best pass rusher in the NFL.

The only player from the 2021 NFL draft that is rated higher than Chase, who was rated at 87, is Micah Parsons who is rated at 88. Which, you know....that's fair. the OROTY and the DROTY are the top ranked players from the draft class. Kyle Pitts tied Chase at 87. Even Creed Humphrey, the player that many are already calling the best center in the NFL, was only 86 overall.
The players in order of their overall rating are as follows:

Micah Parsons † 88
Kyle Pitts † 87
Ja'Marr Chase † 87
Creed Humphrey 86
Najee Harris † 85
Jaylen Waddle 84
Rashawn Slater † 84
Patrick Surtain II  83
DeVonta Smith  83
Jevon Holland  83
Javonte Williams  82
Greg Newsome II 81
Penei Sewell 80
Kadarius Toney  79
Elijah Moore  79
Trevon Moehrig  79
Rondale Moore  79
Pat Freiermuth  79
Nick Bolton  79
Mac Jones † 78
Eric Stokes  78
Odafe Oweh  78
Jeremiah Owusu-Koramoah  78
Kwity Paye  77
Travis Etienne  77
Rashod Bateman  77
Christian Barmore  77

Basically, I don't think that Madden was specifically taking a shot at Chase or anything like that. Pitts, Parsons, Humphrey and Slater are all considered among the top 5 at their position by most fans and not a single one rated above 88 overall. 

I bet they just have a categorical stance that they will not rate a player as a 90 OVR after just 1 season in the NFL. If Chase has another season like he did last year, they'll most likely give him his due rating.
I actually did check one other 2021 draftee, Evan McPherson.
He got an 83 :)

He’s been without Zeke off and on and his defense i don’t remember being that good. I remember him putting up 300 yards a game because he had to go even be close to winning.

If we had a choice on who we played in the Super Bowl I would’ve rather played Stafford than Dak.

Parsons who is another extremely special player from that Draft. It was a historical rookie season for both of them honestly.

Can't really blame Madden for these ratings as it came from nowhere.

You don't see rookies doing what these two did last season often if ever.

I'd be really annoyed if the other transcendent rookies like Pitts and Parsons were 95s and Chase was 87 but since they're all clustered together, I don't mind it. Chase is gonna go off in the first few weeks of the season and he'll be raised to a 90 then. In my Madden 22 file, he's already a 99 X-factor Super star and I'll get him back up there quickly in Madden 23 as well
