Aaron Donald is once again the best passing runner in Madden NFL 21, scoring 99 for the fourth consecutive year.
The Los Angeles Rams defensive tackle stands out above the rest of the stars who line up in the first seven, although JJ Watt and Khalil Mack are still highly rated in the latest video game.
ESPN’s Michael Rothstein provided the top 10 pass brokers in Madden:
1. Aaron Donald (99)
2. JJ Watt (98)
T3 Khalil Mack (97)
S3 von Miller (97)
T5 Fletcher Cox (96)
S5 Cameron Jordan (96)
T7 Chandler Jones (95)
T7 Calais Campbell (95)
9. Myles Garrett (93)
10. Chris Jones (92)
Donald was the easy call for first place, staying at the exclusive 99 Club. He received his gift box in a surprise from his girlfriend, Erica Sherman:

With six Pro Bowl selections, five All-Pro First Team Honors and two Defensive Player of the Year awards, the tackle must remain a highly-skilled player for the foreseeable future.
The remaining rankings paid a lot of respect to veteran players with a proven track record.
Watt, Mack, and Von Miller have been elite defenders for years, and Madden evaluators thought they deserved to stay on the list despite the relatively quiet seasons of 2019. None of the three made 10 sacks last season, with Watt limited to eight games due to injury.
Younger players didn’t seem to get the same benefit from the doubt.
Chris Jones (Rating 92) it remained relatively low despite a poll of 50 league members rated the Kansas City Chiefs as the No. 2 star of NFL interior linemen, for Jeremy Fowler from ESPN. Accepted a four-year extension worth $ 85 million on Tuesday.
Myles Garrett is ranked just ninth in the group, while Nick Bosa, Joey Bosa, TJ Watt, and DeForest Buckner didn’t even make the list.
There is still plenty of time for these players to scale the roster with big projections in 2020.
