Madden 21 ratings: Who are the 99 overall players?

Madden 21 99 Club

In Madden 21, there are five players who have the coveted "99" rating: Patrick Mahomes, Christian McCaffrey, Aaron Donald, Michael Thomas, and Stephon Gilmore.

Patrick Mahomes

Fresh off leading the Kansas City Chiefs to a Super Bowl win and signing a contract making him the first half-billion-dollar athlete in the sports world, Patrick Mahomes has been announced as the first member of the exclusive "99 Club" in Madden 21! As last year's Madden cover athlete, Mahomes reached the "99 Club" in late September after just 20 career games played. However, this year the bouncers (EA Ratings Adjustors) have let him in the " 99 Club" on Day 1, and rightfully so!

Aaron Donald

Marking his fourth consecutive year achieving the honor, Rams DT/DE Aaron Donald joins Patrick Mahomes and Christian McCaffrey in Madden 21's "99 Club". Today's news comes as no real surprise considering just last year Donald was voted as the #1 player in the NFL Top 100 of 2019 by his peers. With a 99 rating in Power Move, Play Recognition, and Strength, expect to see plenty of Aaron Donald plowing through the line at your QB in Madden 21.

Stephon Gilmore

With 99 ratings in Man Coverage, Press, and Awareness, Gilmore is the definition of a lockdown corner in Madden 21. While leading the top-rated defense in the league during the 2019 NFL season, Gilmore recorded a league-leading 6 interceptions and returned 2 for touchdowns. He is also the first cornerback since Richard Sherman in 2015 to receive a 99 overall rating in Madden and enter the club.

Christian McCaffrey

The Carolina Panther is coming off a Pro Bowl season that saw him rack up over 2300+ total yards from scrimmage and 19 total TDs. Like Mahomes yesterday, this is McCaffrey's second year making the 99 Club, but his first year being rated 99 on day one. "Run CMC" is the first halfback since Adrian Peterson in Madden 25 (2014) to earn 99 Club honors.

Michael Thomas

Fresh off a monster 2019 NFL Season that saw him win AP Offensive Player of the Year honors, Michael Thomas rounds out the 99 Club for Madden 21! Last season, Thomas led the league in both receptions (149) and yards (1,725). His 99 Catching and 98 Catch in Traffic ratings seem appropriate given his eye-popping 80.5% catch percentage as Drew Brees' favorite target in the pass-heavy Saints offense.

Madden 25 Thresholds Explained

-
In Madden, rating thresholds are used to gate certain animations and mechanics. These thresholds establish certain rating ranges that affect how players perform in specific aspects of the game. Ultimately the value of a single rating point does not always scale linearly, or even fully against the actual game play graph of the rating, due to these thresholds. For example, an offensive lineman with 84 AWR only see's a slight increase in traditional blocking logic going up to 85 AWR. However, 85 AWR will also enable enhanced targeting mechanic at 25% chance (chance scales to 100% @ 99), which is far more valuable then the miniscule percentile increase in blocking logic ...
