In the spirit of the late great John Madden, it's time to crank on the consoles and virtually take over the NFL.

EA Sports has unveiled their ratings for every NFL player in the new Madden 26, the notable video game franchise inspired by the Raiders Hall of Fame head coach and game-changing broadcaster.

Before the game releases on August 14, we're taking a look at the top Raiders to play with in the game – based on top overall rated, the fastest rated players and the rookie class.

Simply the Best

For a second straight year, Maxx Crosby is the highest rated Raider in Madden.

This is also the third consecutive year Crosby has had above a 90 overall rating in the game. The Raiders edge rusher also boasts a 98 pursuit rating, 98 stamina rating, 96 finesse moves rating, 96 tackle rating and 96 awareness rating.

Brock Bowers makes a big leap from his rookie season in Madden, going from a 78 initial rating to a 90 in Madden 26. He's the fifth-highest rated tight end in this year's installment of the game.

For a second straight year, AJ Cole is the highest rated punter in the game with an 85 overall.

Darien Porter and Dont'e Thornton Jr. are the two fastest Raiders in this year's game, with three of the Raiders rookies ranking in the top 10 in speed, which includes quarterback turned receiver Tommy Mellott.

Second and third-year players Jakorian Bennett, Tre Tucker, Decamerion Richardson and Zamir White find themselves in the top 10 fastest players on the team for a second consecutive season. The cornerback trio of Bennett, Richardson and Porter all ran a 4.3 40-yard dash at the NFL Combine.
