As a seasoned gamer with a lifetime of virtual football under my belt, I can’t help but chuckle at the antics of Woody Johnson, the owner of the New York Jets. It seems like he’s taking his Madden NFL obsession to a whole new level, using the ratings in real-life decision-making.
The traditional franchise mode within the Madden NFL collection empowers players to take control of their preferred team and execute strategic choices like drafting new talent or securing free agents. In actuality, New York Jets owner Woody Johnson has utilized such games as a crucial tool in his decision-making process. As a matter of fact, it’s been reported that a trade deal involving a wide receiver was called off by Johnson during the last offseason due to the player’s poor rating in Madden NFL 24.
As reported by The Athletic, the Jets almost finalized a trade with the Denver Broncos for wide receiver Jerry Jeudy in March. However, according to Johnson, negotiations apparently broke down when he scrutinized Jeudy’s rating on Madden NFL 24. While Electronic Arts frequently adjusts player ratings during the season, it was revealed by the Denver Post that Jeudy had an overall score of 83 at the start of the previous season. Interestingly, the wide receiver who eventually got traded to the Cleveland Browns still holds the same 83 overall rating in Madden NFL 25.

Previously with Denver Broncos last season, Jeudy made 54 catches totaling 758 yards and scored 2 touchdowns according to ESPN. In contrast, for the Cleveland Browns this season, the wide receiver has accumulated 70 receptions, resulting in 1,052 yards and 4 touchdowns. Earlier this month, Jeudy had his most impressive game of the NFL season, catching a total of 9 passes for 235 yards and scoring another touchdown.
It appears that Johnson has also linked Madden ratings to other player recruitment decisions within the Jets, as indicated by The Athletic. For example, it’s said that the owner had doubts about signing offensive lineman John Simpson due to his awareness rating (which stands at 85 in Madden NFL 25). Some speculate that Johnson is using Madden ratings as a point of reference because of his teenage sons.
The Madden series is among the largest video game properties, consistently dominating sales in the United States with a new release each year, making it the top-selling game during its launch month for an impressive 25 consecutive years.
