Darron Lee is going to be a fun one to play with in the new Madden video game.

Shortly after last Thursday’s NFL draft, EA Sports kept with the tradition of debuting the “Madden” ratings of first-round picks shortly after they’re selected. When it comes to the Jets new linebacker. . oh boy are some of his specific attributes eye-popping.

While EA didn’t debut every rating, they did unveil Lee’s speed, agility and overall marks.

In next year’s game, Lee will have an outstanding 92 speed, 87 agility and an 81 overall. For those that religiously and regularly play the game, having a middle linebacker with that speed is about as clutch as anything else.

For the record, you can see Lee in his Jets uniform here.

Now, for those that don’t play Madden, you may want to look away, as we’re about to geek-out a bit.

While other key overall numbers are not yet known that could damn Lee to play with– such as tackling, block shedding, man coverage– the speed attribute is undoubtedly something that at least warrants adding Lee (via draft, fantasy draft, or just starting with the Jets) to your team.

See, with a little time, all of those other attributes are easily worked up. If, theoretically, you could get Lee’s awareness and man coverage up to an 80 or an 85? Sheesh, you’re talking about the perfect video game linebacker.

In Madden, speed is usually/always the most difficult attribute to work up. To have a linebacker starting with a 92 in the category? That’s gold. Getting timed at a 4.47 in the 40-yard dash at the NFL Combine certainly benefited Lee quite a bit.

From a pure technical standpoint, Lee could be used to cover near any tight end your opponent lines up in front of you, running backs out of the backfield and, if you wanna keep in a base defense, even slot receivers.

Now, we’ve saved the best for last– You don’t have to wait until Madden 17 to play with Lee. EA has released all first-round picks into “Madden Ultimate Team,” where you can play with them now.
