Century Mark Bears return man Devin Hester shocked the Madden world last year -- or feebly shook the ratings system, at least -- when he became the first-ever player to snag a 100 speed rating. He returns this season just as quick, but among a sparse 100-fied supporting cast, including Patriots WR Randy Moss (jumping), Saints RB Reggie Bush (agility), Browns WR Braylon Edwards (spectacular catch), Pats QB Tom Brady and Colts QB Peyton Manning (awareness), Raiders K Sebastian Janikowski (kick power), and Jets T Wayne Hunter (morale). More............ While there'll be plenty of debate on who gets ranked second through fifth at each position, it's tough to argue who's slotted at the top. Here's the list of who ranks No. 1 at every position: Offense: QB: Tom Brady (Patriots, 99) RB: LaDainian Tomlinson (Chargers, 99) FB: Lawrence Vickers (Browns, 92)WR: Randy Moss (Patriots, 99) and Terrell Owens (Cowboys, 98) TE: Antonio Gates (Chargers, 99) C: Jeff Saturday (Colts, 96) T: Jason Peters (Bills, 97) and Mark Tauscher (Packers, 94) G: Steve Hutchinson (Vikings, 98) and Leonard Davis (Cowboys, 97) K: Matt Stover (Ravens, 95) Defense: DT: Albert Haynesworth (Titans, 98) and Pat Williams (Vikings, 98) DE: Aaron Kampman (Packers, 98) and Jason Taylor (Dolphins, 98) MLB: Brian Urlacher (Bears, 98) OLB: Derrick Johnson (Chiefs, 93) and DeMarcus Ware (Cowboys, 98) CB: Champ Bailey (Broncos, 97) and Asante Samuel (Eagles, 96) SS: Bob Sanders (Colts, 99) FS: Ed Reed (Ravens, 98) P: Shane Lechler (Raiders, 97) http://sports.espn.go.com/videogames/news/story?id=3450647&lpos=spotlight&lid=tab8pos2

Joe Thomas is tied for the top LT spot at 97. Not sure why they didn't put him on there too.
We're... we're good?

Why?
Because Braylon made some of the most disgusting catches I've ever seen last year. If you're looking for a spectacular catch in the NFL, I don't think I can find a better player than Braylon.
That TD against Pittsrurgh last year? Greatest catch I've possibly ever seen.
That's bad as hell that Braylon got a 100 in spectacular catches. Gotta love that.

What the hell? Our starting DE is not on the roster, but a rookie who isn't guaranteed to make it is?
Why did they leave out Robaire Smith?

I was reading -DC-'s list above, and that one didn't have him. I was wondering why. Seemed odd.

Sorry, should have taken the bold quotes away from Braylon - I'm wondering why Wayne Hunter has 100 morale? Who is that?

I wonder how Madden measures morale. I can't believe that they would value his morale so low. Since the motorcycle incident I haven't noticed anything that he has done to warrant this low ranking. I wonder if media hype has anything to do with this....

I'm sure that when they made this they were hearing all about how he wants a new contract and isn't going to ota's or mnicamp and will be involved in a protracted holdout etc blah blah blah...
they're not going to go back and change a single rating like morale when they heard he showed up for minicamp.
