The ratings for every player in Madden 19 are now available and the top-two on the Cleveland Browns happen to be guards Joel Bitonio and Kevin Zeitler

We already saw some leaks about the rookie ratings in the EA Sports football video game Madden 19, but now we know how everyone on the Cleveland Browns will be ranked in the popular video game.

The hype centered around this team, like with most in the league, is centered around their skill players. New quarterback Tyrod Taylor and receiver Jarvis Landry easily get the most attention.

Coming up behind them is another receiver in Josh Gordon and of course defensive studs like Myles Garrett. None of them made the top two spots for the Browns though as that honor fell to a couple guys who do the dirty work.

Left guard Joel Bitonio and right guard Keven Zeitler tied for the best overall player on the Browns with a rating of 89 each.

Right behind them is Garrett with an 88 and then Jarvis Landry (87) and running back Duke Johnson (83) round out the top-five.

As for the top players, the Browns would likely agree. Both Bitonio and Zeitler were recently given big contracts from the team, as they obviously see them as centerpieces to the franchise.

Bitonio, considered one of the better guards in the league, may not play that position this year though. He’s said he would be fine with kicking out to left tackle, an idea that wouldn’t seem bad according to Madden.

The current potential starter is Shon Coleman, who is ranked a lowly 67 in the game. Rookie guard Austin Corbett comes in at a 74, so according to them, moving him into the starting lineup and shifting Bitonio out makes the strongest team up front.

Sure, it’s just a video game, but it could actually make the most sense.
