Much has been said about the latest NBA 2K21 ratings, with some players questioning them. But for former NFL star Chad Johnson, the Madden NFL 21 ratings are just as relevant—and as questionable. The Man Formerly Known as Chad Ochocinco called them “disrespectful.” Or at least in the case of San Francisco 49ers much-improved running back Raheem Mostert, especially after his huge stiff-arm on Los Angeles Rams linebacker Micah Kiser during their Week 6 matchup.
The outspoken Johnson was so impressed, he went on a hilarious but NSFW monologue on The Checkdown.
“That is so rude. Raheem Mostert, that was absolutely f****** embarrassing. Not for you, but for your opponent. That individual you stiff-armed has a family, I'm sure he has kids.”

The 42-year-old Johnson then added three more points to the stiff-arm rating of Mostert on Madden NFL 21 and raised it to 75. He also gave a nice little tip to defenders, while reminding everyone how great he is in true Chad Ochocinco flamboyant fashion.
“To all defenders that continue to get stiff-armed, notice one common denominator: Everyone keeps coming in high. You gotta go low. Listen to me, I know. Look what I did to Ray Lewis. Check that tape.”
Johnson, who played wide receiver, is a six-time Pro Bowler and a three-time All-Pro First Team member. He played for the Cincinnati Bengals and the New England Patriots from 2001 to 2011. He joined the Miami Dolphins in 2012 but did not play a single game. He finished his career with 67 touchdowns, 766 receptions, and 11,058 receiving yards.
Which begs the question: What would be Johnson's Madden NFL rating if he played today?
