Madden 11 Impact Rookies: Jahvid Best – Lions

ZFarls | Jul 21, 2010 | Comments 3

Its no secret the Lions have been an awful NFL Franchise lately. However, they are slowly putting together quite the roster! Madden 11 will be a chance for Detroit to show off some of its young stars and it all starts in the backfield with rookie RB Jahvid Best!

If your not familiar with the Lions 30th overall pick, he is an explosive talent with a knack for breaking huge gains. He instantly becomes the number 1 choice at RB with 95 SPD, 96, ACC, 97 AGI! If Best can make a few highlight runs early, his ratings will continue to grow. With incumbent starter Kevin Smith only having 86 speed, you need to put Best in your Madden 11 lineup!

Jahvid Best easily competes with Bills RB CJ Spiller (95 Spd) for the top Madden Rookie in the game. WR’s Demaryius Thomas and Dez Bryant will look to play catchup, but these rookie RB’s are some of the quickest players in recent memory!

With Megatron’s (an MB Favorite) size and speed, Burleson Spd, Byant Johnson size and Pettigrews overall athleticism, the Lions are no joke and a top 20 team! We loved Matt Stafford last year and while he lost a few speed points, he still has a “laser rocket arm” with 97 THP.

Their D-line improved greatly with additions of Suh and Vanden-Bosch. They did lose Ernie Sims, but added some depth in the secondary. While not highly rated, you can make this secondary work with the right scheme.

He only has 83 jump? Looks more like 99!

Do you think the Lions can compete as a top tier Madden 11 team?
Will you be giving Jahvid a Go? Leave your thoughts in the comments!
