When it comes to facing Rodgers in Madden 23, pick your poison.
Plan on blitzing him? No other quarterback has a quicker release, and he’s an ace throwing the ball under pressure (97.) And if he chooses, Rodgers still has the speed (80) to escape the pocket and improvise outside of the pocket despite his 38 years of age. That quickness also translates to first downs in bang-bang running situations.
So, is your game plan to make Rodgers rely on his arm instead? Good luck with that, as he boasts accuracy and throw power ratings that are among the highest the game, whether dropping back under center or in play action. Honestly, there’s not a single Madden 23 scenario in which the Packers powerhouse won’t be able to thrive under your control as a QB.
However, while Rodgers can run without issues, please don’t make it a habit. His ultra-low ball-carrying abilities will result in fumbles if you insist on pushing your luck. He’s remarkably easy to tackle in this year’s game, too.
With all this in mind, let’s see where one of the greatest to ever throw the football ranks amongst the rest in Boardroom’s Aaron Rodgers Madden 23 rating rundown below.
