Best rookie in Madden 12: A.J Green. If not him, Julio Jones. Marcell Dareus would be the third best, and Von Miller probably has an outside shot at being in the top 3.

Re: Top Five 'Next-Gen' Madden Rookies

In Madden, any rookie with a 98+ speed was a god send. I didn't care about their AWR or anything else, usually. If the RB/WR/CB/LB/Safety had speed, I was good to go. Fumbling was a bit of an issue, but I usually turned Tatum Bell into a 1400 yard rusher because he was quick enough.

That being said, I've seen some wicked videos of Tim Tebow from M11 going 60 yards on a scramble after breaking 6 tackles, etc. (Don't look at my avatar!)

Cam Newton obviously should be a pretty studly QB for the game. A.J. Green, Patrick Peterson (will probably have the biggest impact defensively for a rookie). I also wouldn't count out Mark Ingram as possibly being beastly as a HB.

yea i knew from the get go that Megatron was gonna own because he is a Jump ball nightmare at 6'4-6'5 and weighs 235-240 pounds and runs a 4.3

and has mad hops and YAC abiltity

but Alex Smith idk i didnt expect much outta a Utah QB since this is waaay before the Spread was in the NFL

[sniperhare]

What about the jump from MJD? They didn't even get his name right when he was a rookie and he had like a 70 OVR rating. Now he's one of the top RB's in the game.

I believe Reggie Bush was the highest rated runningback and tied for highest at 87, and I would put him #2 on this list.

I disagree. IMO Patrick Peterson should be the best rated rookie, then AJ, then Dareus.

Cam Newton will be the best rated rookie, coming in at probably an 82-86 OVR rating, good pass accuracy, not to mention high speed, acceleration, trucking, and carrying.

Its already been confirmed that Patrick Peterson is the highest rated rookie at an 82.

peterson and then i would think aj green. i wouldnt be shocked if it was von miller playing in that james harrison role. cam newton should be 75. he was so much bigger then everyone in college so in year one i think 75 is where he should be. he is just not that good as a passer in my eyes

[FedExPope]

PP7 is number 1, but in the top 5 will be A.J. Green, mayyybe Julio Jones...Darius no doubt, and Fairley has a shot I think.

[WFColonel56]

Bush should have been on that list.....Alex Smith shouldnt and russell was a reach

[WFColonel56]

julio jones proved that he could light PP7 up...he should be rewarded for his 2010 performance vs LSU.

[stlstudios189]

what was Bush's rookie year? was it next gen.
