A lead blocker for one great back after another

Tony Richardson blocked for Priest Holmes, Larry Johnson and later Adrian Peterson during their most productive seasons, a resume of springing elite backs few fullbacks can match. The undrafted Auburn product played into his forties.

Madden gave him 97s in the 2005 and 2009 editions, two peaks years apart. Three Pro Bowls later, his blocking underwrote record-setting ground games for a generation.

How to read these: Each row is the player’s rating in that year’s Madden, listed by the NFL season it covers (Madden NFL 2001 = the 2000 season). Madden sets its ratings before the season is played, so they reflect the previous season’s performance - a player’s breakout year tends to show up as a jump in the following year’s game.
Note: Some Madden releases tracked fewer attributes than others. Cells shown as - were not published by EA that year.
