NFL training camps are opening across the league, and the countdown to the latest edition of “Madden NFL” is officially underway. “Madden NFL 27” is still a little more than two weeks from release, but the ratings debate will likely start now. EA Sports unveiled its latest player ratings, releasing the top 10 players at quarterback, running back, and wide receiver.
Top Rated Players
Reigning league MVP Matthew Stafford and Buffalo Bills signal caller Josh Allen led the quarterback group ratings and earned a spot in the coveted 99 Club. Stafford and Allen tied for the top quarterback rating, but the Los Angeles Rams signal caller was listed ahead of the Buffalo Bills star in the category.
Joe Burrow was third with a 97, followed by Baltimore Ravens standout Lamar Jackson. Patrick Mahomes received a 93 rating and was slotted fifth, while Detroit Lions quarterback Jared Goff rounded out the group’s top 10 with an 88.
The other 99 Club members were wide receivers Ja’Marr Chase and Jaxon Smith-Njigba, defensive end Myles Garrett, and tight end Trey McBride.
Wide Receivers and Running Backs
After Chase and Smith-Njigba, Puka Nacua, Amon-Ra St. Brown, and Justin Jefferson rounded out the top five wide receivers. Mike Evans, who left the Tampa Bay Buccaneers for the San Francisco 49ers this offseason, came in at No. 10.
Detroit Lions star Jahmyr Gibbs led all running backs with a 98 overall rating. Christian McCaffrey followed at 97 after a bounce-back season, with Jonathan Taylor third and Bijan Robinson fourth at 95. Rams standout Kyren Williams rounded out the top 10.
