In months past, I predicted the Madden 25 ratings for most of the Vikings’ assumed starters at that time. Since then, the official ratings directly from EA Sports have been released, and there are some pain points for Vikings fans, but it should be mentioned that they gave an honorable nod to late rookie Khyree Jackson, keeping him in the game for launch.

Here are the Vikings Madden NFL 25 ratings sorted by position, as well as my personal prediction in parentheses if they were included in my prediction series of articles:
