Only time will tell if Kansas State quarterback Avery Johnson can put up video-game numbers for the Wildcats this season, but it’s already clear that the folks at EA Sports expect big things from him.
The virtual version of Johnson (the one gamers can control with a joystick) is one of the highest-rated players in the newly released College Football 27 video game database.
With an overall player rating of 88, he is the top-rated player on the K-State football roster and the No. 15-rated quarterback in the entire game. He ranks inside the top 150 of all 9,013 players featured in the game.
That will give Johnson bragging rights whenever he sits down to play the game with friends or teammates.
EA Sports thinks most highly of Johnson’s awareness, which earned him a 93 rating in that category. He earned ratings of 91 in agility, change of direction and injury to go along with an 88 in speed. His lowest attribute is strength at 65.
Ohio State wide receiver Jeremiah Smith is the top-rated player in the game at 99.
Oregon quarterback Dante Moore leads all passers with an overall rating of 95.
