The top 10 Bengals in Madden 19 will likely surprise you

Yes, John Ross is the fastest Bengals player and A.J. Green is the highest ranked. But many of these Madden grades are questionable.

NFL: Cincinnati Bengals-Training Camp Aaron Doster-USA TODAY Sports

The NFL season is still more than two months away, but with training camps opening soon, it’s never too early to look at how the Madden 19 video game rates various NFL players.

EA Sports has begun released the ratings every teams’ rosters, including the Bengals. You already know how their top three players are A.J. Green (93), Geno Atkins (90) and Tyler Eifert (89).

The next highest are Vontaze Burfict (87), Carlos Dunlap (84), William Jackson (84), Giovani Bernard (84), Carl Lawson (82), Joe Mixon (81) and Shawn Williams (81).

Andy Dalton is one of the lowest-rated starting quarterbacks of any team with his 77 rating. While Dalton has had his struggles, he’s still easily an 80, if not better, so hopefully he proves everyone wrong this coming season with impressive results on-the-field.

Other notable Bengals include Dre Kirkpatrick (80), Cordy Glenn (79), George Iloka (79) and Clint Boling (77). John Ross, the No. 9 overall pick in 2017, only got a 76 overall rating, but his 97 speed rating is the best on the team and second highest in the NFL behind only Chiefs wide receier Tyreek Hill.

Still, this feels like a really bad indicator of what the 2018 Bengals actually look like. Dre Kirkpatrick, under no circumstance, is a better player than Cordy Glenn, George Iloka, Clint Boling and Andy Dalton. That is a flat-out joke that really hurts the credibility of these ratings.

Here is a look at the 30 confirmed Bengals ratings for Madden 19:
