49ers want Mitch Wishnowsky's Madden tackle rating raised after big hit

Share

After the 49ers' preseason game in Denver on Monday, the hard workers at Electronic Arts have some work to do on punter Mitch Wishnowsky's player rating.

And no, it has nothing to do with the fourth-round draft pick's leg.

In case you missed it, Wishnowsky delivered the hit of the night, leveling Broncos' Devontae Jackson on a kickoff return midway through the third quarter.

As you might imagine, Wishnowsky's hit was all over highlight shows.

And because of the hit, the 49ers are requesting that the folks at EA Sports adjust Wishnowsky's tackle rating.

Wishnowsky, who grew up playing Australian rules football in in his home country, was not thrilled to find out his Madden tackle rating is 36.

The 49ers used the No. 110 overall draft pick on Wishnowsky and they have high hopes for the the Utah product.

And if he doesn't work out at punter, maybe the 49ers can try Wishnowsky at linebacker.
