Madden 22 has an expected release date of August 17, which is just two months away. Given the game’s history, we can expect the release of the top rookie ratings to come in early July. Pitts is a lock to be among the highest-rated players from this year’s draft.
Last year, Madden’s top rookie tight end was Cole Kmet, who was given an initial rating of 70 overall. Screenrant projects Pitts will have an 81 overall rating.
