Although Madden 21 will be released Aug. 28. And the start of training camp occurring in mid-August and the season still scheduled to begin in early September. But Just recently, EA Sports and Madden 21 revealed their player ratings for several key players. In the Cowboy team, to no surprise, Zack Martin has the best overall rating with a 98. But what about the other players. So who are the best players?

TOP 1: Zack Martin
Right Guard, 98 Overall Rating
Martin’s resume says everything you need to know. He’s been a Pro Bowler in all six years of his career, and the league named him to the 2010-2019 All-Decade team. He’s the best guard in the league and arguably the best player on the Cowboys’ roster.

TOP 2: Amari Cooper
Wide Receiver, 93 Overall Rating
A former number four overall pick in 2015, Cooper’s skill was apparent in his time in Oakland. Since arriving in Dallas in a midseason trade in 2018, he has made two Pro Bowls and piled up 132 catches for 1,914 and 14 touchdowns in 25 games.

TOP 4: Tyron Smith
Offensive Tackle, 91 Overall Rating
Smith’s track record speaks for itself. Even with injuries hampering him in recent years, he has reached seven straight Pro Bowls and was named to the NFL’s 2010-2019 All-Decade Team. He hasn’t even turned 30 yet and already has a case as one of the best offensive linemen in team history.
Cowboys’ Tyron Smith
TOP 5: DeMarcus Lawrence
Defensive End, 89 Overall Rating
Lawrence had a disappointing season last year with only five sacks, but no one doubts what he’s capable of as a nuisance to opposing quarterbacks as well as a premier run-stopper. In the two prior seasons, Lawrence combined for 24.5 sacks.
Cowboys’ DeMarcus Lawrence
TOP 6: La’el Collins
Offensive Tackle, 87 Overall Rating
Very quietly, might have had the best 2019 season of anyone on the Cowboys’ offensive line. He didn’t earn any postseason honors, but he was always reliable and often dominant on the right side.
Cowboys’ La’el Collins
TOP 7: Gerald McCoy
Defensive Tackle, 85 Overall Rating
By far the most decorated addition to the Cowboys roster this offseason, McCoy has stacked up the trophy case with six Pro Bowls, three first-team All-Pro selections, and one second-team honor. In his time in Tampa Bay from 2010-2018, he made a compelling case as the league’s best defensive tackle of the last decade.
Cowboys’ Gerald McCoy
TOP 8: Dak Prescott
Quarterback, 84 Overall Rating
Prescott bucked his (incorrect) reputation as a check-down artist in 2019, bombing away for 4,902 yards — just one shy of the franchise record. He also threw for a career-best 30 touchdowns. His next step forward would be to put his name in the tier of the league’s most respected and feared quarterbacks.
Cowboys’ Dak Prescott
TOP 9: Leighton Vander Esch
Linebacker, 83 Overall Rating
In 2018 Vander Esch became the first Cowboys defensive rookie in 37 years to make a Pro Bowl. In 2019 he missed seven games with a neck injury that required surgery in January, though the Cowboys have said they expect him to make a full recovery.

TOP 10: Chidobe Awuzie
Cornerback, 82 Overall Rating
Awuzie has consistently shown the speed and skill to be an impressive starting cornerback, but last season he seemed to fluctuate between making plays and giving them up. He has three career interceptions in three seasons.
Cowboys’ Chidobe Awuzie
TOP 11: Michael Gallup
Wide Receiver, 81 Overall Rating
In just his second NFL season, Gallup became a 1,000-yard receiver for the first time in his career. And this despite missing two games in late September after arthroscopic knee surgery. In the season finale he became only the third player in team history to post three touchdown catches in the second half/overtime of a game.
Cowboys’ Michael Gallup
TOP 12: Chris Jones
Punter, 81 Overall Rating
One of the most productive punters in franchise history, Jones ranks first in all-time net average (40.1) and second in punting average (44.6). However, he’s battled injures the past two seasons that has slightly affected his recent performances.
Cowboys’ Chris Jones
TOP 13: Jaylon Smith
Linebacker, 81 Overall Rating
One of the NFL’s best comeback stories, Smith made his first Pro-Bowl in 2019, three years after suffering a career-threatening knee injury in his final game at Notre Dame. He led the Cowboys with 168 tackles and ranked first in the league in run-stopping percentage, according to Pro Football Focus.
Cowboys’ Jaylon Smith
TOP 14: Greg Zuerlein
Kicker, 80 Overall Rating
Zuerlein earned the nickname “Greg the Leg” for his ability to boom the ball through the net from great distances. He made me 33 field goals of at least 50 yards during the last decade, including five last year.
Cowboys’ Greg Zurelein
TOP 15: Dontari Poe
Defensive Tackle, 78 Overall Rating
A two-time Pro Bowler and former All-Pro while with Kansas City, Poe spent the last two seasons with the Panthers. Last year he was back to his old form with four sacks and 22 total tackles in just 12 games before suffering a torn quad in Week 12.

TOP 16: HaHa Clinton-Dix
Safety, 78 Overall Rating

TOP 17: Tyrone Crawford
Defensive End, 78 Overall Rating
One of the most respected veterans in the Cowboys locker room, Crawford aims to rebound after surgeries on both hips and missing all but four games in 2019. He has the versatility to play on the edge as well as the interior of the defensive line. He’s a pass-rushing threat from wherever he lines up.
Cowboys’ Tyrone Crawford
TOP 18: Jourdan Lewis
Cornerback, 77 Overall Rating
Lewis has developed into a fan favorite as a playmaker on a defense that has at times been starved for turnovers. His quickness and intuitive ability to be at the right place at the right time have provided the Cowboys with momentum in several games.
Cowboys’ Jourdan Lewis
TOP 19: Xavier Woods
Safety, 77 Overall Rating
Woods, a former sixth-round pick in 2017, took a big step forward in his third year. After an impressive training camp, he earned the starting safety spot opposite Jeff Heath and proved to be effective in pass coverage. He recorded two interceptions in 2019.
Cowboys’ Xavier Woods
TOP 20: Anthony Brown
Cornerback, 76 Overall Rating
Brown was a sixth-round draft pick in 2016 who competently started multiple games as a rookie due to injuries. Although his 2019 season was cut short due to a triceps injury, over his career in Dallas he has demonstrated an understanding of the defense, often covering some of the NFL’s top receivers.
