Matthew Stafford Joins the Exclusive 99 Club
One of the biggest surprises in this year’s ratings is Matthew Stafford earning a 99 Overall rating, placing him alongside Josh Allen atop the quarterback rankings.
Stafford’s elite arm strength, experience, decision-making, and ability to deliver accurate throws under pressure appear to have convinced EA Sports that he deserves a spot among the NFL’s elite virtual players.
Joining the exclusive 99 Club is one of the highest honors in Madden, reserved for only the very best players in the game.
Josh Allen Continues His Dominance
Josh Allen remains one of the NFL’s highest-rated quarterbacks after several outstanding seasons in Buffalo.
Known for his powerful arm, athleticism, and ability to make plays both inside and outside the pocket, Allen once again earns a place among Madden’s elite with a perfect 99 OVR.
Joe Burrow Leads the Next Tier
Coming in at 97 Overall, Cincinnati Bengals quarterback Joe Burrow ranks third overall.
Burrow continues to be recognized for his accuracy, poise, leadership, and efficiency, making him one of the most respected quarterbacks in both the NFL and Madden.
Patrick Mahomes Ranked Fifth
Perhaps the most debated ranking is Patrick Mahomes, who enters Madden NFL 27 with a 93 Overall rating.
Despite being widely viewed as one of football’s most talented quarterbacks, Mahomes ranks behind Stafford, Allen, Burrow, and Lamar Jackson in this year’s ratings.
As always, Madden ratings are expected to spark plenty of discussion among NFL fans.

These ratings suggest EA Sports believes the NFL’s next generation of quarterbacks is rapidly closing the gap on the league’s established stars.
Jared Goff Completes the Top 10
Detroit Lions quarterback Jared Goff rounds out the Top 10 with an 88 Overall rating.
Following another strong campaign, Goff remains one of the NFL’s most reliable veteran quarterbacks heading into the new season.
