KANSAS CITY, Mo. — On Tuesday, the Madden 23 ratings for linebackers were released and one Kansas City Chiefs linebacker was not thrilled with his rating.
Willie Gay Jr. received a 69 overall rating in the game, the same rating given to rookie Leo Chenal, and 10 ratings lower than his fellow starting linebacker Nick Bolton.
@EAMaddeNNFL just take me off the game lol

The ratings released ahead of the game’s official release in August are preliminary, and are subject to change via several on and off-field factors.
Gay is entering his third year in the NFL and has 87 tackles, 1.5 sacks and 2 interceptions in his career.
With the departure of veteran linebacker Anthony Hitchens, Gay and Bolton are the presumed starters at the position for defensive coordinator Steve Spagnuolo.
