A report claims that the New York Jets general manager made decisions based on the Madden video game, including a potential trade for Jerry Jeudy. While the Jets deny this, the rumor has gained traction. Jeudy, now with the Cleveland Browns, has outperformed his previous season with the Denver Broncos and is ranked as one of the top wide receivers in the NFL. He jokingly blames Chad 'Ochocinco' Johnson, a Madden Ratings Adjuster, for the rumor.
On Dec. 19, football fans were surprised to learn that New York Jets general manager Woody Johnson made executive decisions based on Madden . According to a report from The Athletic, this included a potential trade for wide receiver Jerry Jeudy , who now plays for the Cleveland Browns . However, a Jets spokesperson has denied this idea, calling it 'ridiculous.' 'It is used as a reference point; it is not determinative,' they said.
'It's really sad that an adult would use a misleading anecdote about teenagers to make their father look bad. It's ridiculous, quite honestly, the idea that this was used to influence the opinion of experienced executives.' Still, the idea has gained traction, especially since the Jets have a 4-10 record and are out of playoff contention. Now, Jeudy himself has weighed in on the rumor, leading to the star receiver calling out NFL legend Chad 'Ochocinco' Johnson, saying that he blames the six-time Pro Bowler.

Johnson replied to the joking response, saying, 'It's a good thing, look how you shining now.' He's not wrong. With the Browns, Jeudy has made 70 receptions for 1,052 yards and four touchdowns. This is a vast improvement over his final year with the Denver Broncos, where he recorded 54 receptions for 758 yards and two touchdowns. This has Jeudy ranked as the fifth-best wide receiver in the NFL behind Ja'Marr Chase, Justin Jefferson, CeeDee Lamb, and Amon-Ra St. Brown.
