I was able to sign him to a modest 3 year 10MM deal. I have been throwing to him a lot. In Week 8 after some great performances I had a breakout scenario. Boom. We heavily involved him and got his dev to a star. Guess what? Week 9 I have a shot to get him to a superstar dev now. Not every rookie turns out great when you play through franchise and then you get sweet storylines the longer you play through franchise. I think the fictional classes are the best they have ever been on Madden 21. Love em. And the more fictional players that get into your franchise the more fun it becomes.

Well that got twisted, somehow. I don't think the fictional classes are bad, I think the real rookie class is elevated, in comparison. Claypool is a 99 overall in my current franchise that was started with updated rosters from around Thanksgiving. Not sure what the purpose of that anecdotal evidence was.
