Minnesota Vikings: Top 5 player ratings on Madden 21
4. Adam Thielen
Madden 21 rating: 90
After the departure of Stefon Diggs this offseason, Minnesota wide receiver Adam Thielen will officially take over as the No. 1 option at his position this year for the Vikings. And his top wideout status was reflected in his Madden 21 rating, receiving an overall rating of 90 to lead the wide receiving unit on the Vikings.
Thielen, who is entering his seventh season in the league and with the Vikings this year, earned ratings of 90 in speed, 92 in acceleration, 92 in agility, 93 in awareness, 95 in catching ability, 73 in carrying ability, 91 in jumping ability, 90 in stamina and 87 in toughness, to list a few ratings.
During the 2019 season, the soon-to-be 30-year-old wideout appeared in a total of 10 games for Minnesota, recording 30 catches for 418 yards and six touchdowns while also recording one rushing touchdowns. He missed six games for the first time in his career while dealing with injury issues.
The 2020 campaign will be a big one for Thielen as he tries to lead a suddenly younger wide receiving unit on the offensive side of the ball yet again.
