EA Sports released player ratings for Madden NFL 20 on Monday morning, and it should come as no surprise to see several former Ohio State athletes are among the best players in the game.

New Orleans Saints wide receiver Michael Thomas is the highest-rated Buckeye with a rating of 95 overall, trailing only Houston Texans wide receiver DeAndre Hopkins (99 overall), Oakland Raiders wide receiver Antonio Brown (98 overall), Atlanta Falcons wide receiver Julio Jones (98 overall) and Cleveland Browns wide receiver Odell Beckham Jr. (96 overall) at the position.

Dallas Cowboys running back Ezekiel Elliott sits at 94 overall, right behind Los Angeles Rams running back Todd Gurley (97 overall), while Philadelphia Eagles safety Malcolm Jenkins is the game’s third-highest rated player at his position at 92 overall, just three points behind Baltimore Ravens safety Earl Thomas and two points shy of Minnesota Vikings’ safety Harrison Smith.

Other notable former Ohio State players include Los Angeles Chargers defensive end Joey Bosa and Browns cornerback Denzel Ward at 88 overall; Saints cornerback Marshon Lattimore at 87 overall; Pittsburgh Steelers defensive end Cameron Heyward at 86 overall; Jacksonville Jaguars offensive guard Andrew Norwell at 85 overall; Indianapolis Colts safety Malik Hooker at 82 overall; and Saints wide receiver Ted Ginn and Green Bay Packers center Corey Linsley at 80 overall.

A full breakdown of former Buckeyes in Madden 20, which hits shelves Aug. 2, can be seen below — and you’ll notice it includes Steelers linebacker Ryan Shazier, who sits at 84 overall and will appear in the game as he works his way back from a devastating spinal injury.
