Shazier calls out Madden over 85 rating
Pittsburgh Steelers linebacker Ryan Shazier isn't pleased with his Madden NFL 19 rating.
Shazier, who received an 85 overall rating from the EA Sports video game, made his feelings known on Twitter:
@EAMaddenNFL hey I know im not a 99 club yet madden. But I feel I deserve better than an 85. I see to many LBs that’s rated higher than me.

The Denver Broncos' Von Miller and the Carolina Panthers' Luke Kuechly were both rated 99 overall, the highest among linebackers. Shazier's teammate Antonio Brown is also part of the coveted 99 club.
