Trevor Lawrence is not even the best player in his class

As the sports entertainment company, ESPN, is hosting a ratings reveal show in partnership with Madden, they revealed some of the official overalls for the rookies.

Here are the top 10 rookies in Madden 22:

• Kyle Pitts, TE, Atlanta Falcons – 81 OVR
• Trevor Lawrence, QB, Jacksonville Jaguars – 78 OVR
• Jaylen Waddle, WR, Miami Dolphins – 76 OVR
• Pat Surtain II, CB, Denver Broncos – 76 OVR
• Zach Wilson, QB, New York Jets – 75 OVR
• Ja’Marr Chase, WR, Cincinnati Bengals – 75 OVR
• DeVonta Smith, WR, Philadelphia Eagles – 75 OVR
• Trey Lance, QB, San Francisco 49ers – 74 OVR
• Justin Fields, QB, Chicago Bears – 74 OVR

The biggest surprise of this list is probably QB Lawrence not being the best player in this class as he is one of the most accomplished and polished quarterbacks to enter the league in the last 30 years, and it was expected to be at least above an 80 OVR.
