In popular culture
In 2006, Albright became an internet meme for being the lowest-rated NFL player in the video game Madden NFL 07 at 53 out of 99. The low rating was made popular by the now-defunct website Phat Phree and gained further traction after Albright received Pro Bowl honors the following year.[8][9]
