Jason Kelce Unloads on Madden for His Below Par Toughness Rating in 2022; “They Will Not Call me Weak”

Jason Kelce, the formidable center of the Philadelphia Eagles, recently took aim at Madden 23 ratings for their assessment of his Toughness score in 2022. The outspoken player expressed his displeasure on a recent episode of the New Heights podcast, where he candidly discussed his thoughts on the matter. The highly anticipated Madden NFL 2024 is set to release on 15th August 2023.

During a lively exchange with his brother Travis on their ‘New Heights’ podcast, Jason Kelce openly expressed his bewilderment at the low Toughness rating he received in the previous year’s Madden game. However, the frustration of the past was replaced with a sense of satisfaction as Jason received the rating which he termed as ‘impressive.’

“Impressive”: Jason Kelce is Happy With This Year’s Madden Rating

During a candid episode of the ‘New Heights’ podcast, Jason Kelce, the formidable center of the Philadelphia Eagles, couldn’t hide his frustration when discussing his Madden rating from the previous year. He exclaimed,

“The one thing that did piss me off with Madden… my toughness was like a 60 and I was like they can come at me for pass blocking all they want, but they will not call me f*ucking weak, as long as my toughness is up.”

In a humorous yet determined manner, Kelce made it clear that his toughness attribute deserved a much higher rating. His brother Travis Kelce, the star tight end for the Kansas City Chiefs, added to the conversation, saying, “No way your toughness is lower than 90.” To which Jason replied, “I guess, but I was like, no way, they’re not watching.”

The podcast took an exciting turn when Jason checked his current Madden rating, and to his delight, his toughness rating had soared to an impressive 96. The dramatic increase brought a smile to his face, and he couldn’t have been happier. “Impressive, My toughness’s 96, they found it!! I don’t even care what my speed is; I just want my toughness up,” he proudly declared.
