If you're going to base it on statistics, then Michael Turner should be the highest rated runningback! I think he had two games last year with over 200 yards rushing and 5 touchdowns in each! He'll be lucky if EA puts him in the top 7 rb's...
My Predictions for EA's Highest Rated at Each Position...
QB: Cody Pickett will probably lead the way, followed closely by Manning, Rivers, and Roberson.
RB: Clarrett will take it, with Steven Jackson, Darren Sproles, and Anthony Davis right behind.........then Kevin Jones
WR: It should be a contest of three potent Williams's. Honestly this is too close to call, but I'll go out on a limb and say Rashaun Woods is the third best receiver behind two Williams's. Unfortunately for Rashaun he plays on OSU!
TE: Kellen Winslow Jr. will be the best tight end by a decent margin!!!
DL: I think it will be David Pollack of Georgia. Tommie Harris (Oklahoma), Claude Harriott (Pitt) or Uzuibeke (sp?) of USC will be good too.
LB: It probably should be Rob Davis, or Thomas/Dansby of Auburn, but I have a feeling it will be either Bouleware/Pope of Florida State, or Vilma of Miami.
CB: The King of the Secondary will be Chris Gamble...he has been overhyped and EA will be on his nuts. I think Vasher, Bob Sanders, Marlin Jackson and DeAngelo Hall will follow closely.
**Again...these are my predictions on who EA will rate high...that doesn't mean I agree with their logic
