For Purdue fans hoping to use David Blough in the upcoming Madden 20 video game, maybe don't.

Blough, who signed as an undrafted free agent with the Cleveland Browns, was given a 48 overall rating in the game. It is the lowest rating of any rookie quarterback in the game.

Seeing as 48 overall may be the lowest QB rating ever 🤦🏻‍♂️... I’ve got $250 for the first person who can win League MVP and the Super Bowl on @EAMaddenNFL All-Madden mode. With me, David Blough at QB... Good luck 😂 pic.twitter.com/xkk0C0G1xj — David Blough (@david_blough10) July 2, 2019

The low rating prompted Blough to issue a challenge, promising $250 to any player who could turn his virtual persona into an MVP and Super Bowl champion. The only caveat is the wins must come while playing in Madden's hardest setting.

Blough threw for 3,521 yards and 25 touchdowns in his senior year at Purdue. His 3,521 yards ranked behind only Dwayne Haskins, who holds a 72 rating. His numbers are ahead of players ranked ahead of him like former Northwestern quarterback Clayton Thorson (56) and Penn State's former quarterback, Trace McSorley (55).

Ask Ohio State about that 48 overall rating. — Cody Ricker (@CodyRicker1) July 2, 2019
