Madden 24 ratings tracker: Updated leaks, list of top NFL players by position in 2023 release image

Let the discourse begin!

Madden 24 already has a release date set for Aug. 18, but there is so much to talk about in the next month.

One of the main points of conversation is and always will be player ratings. Who belongs in the 99 club (besides Patrick Mahomes)? Who is overrated? Who is underrated? And will your favorite team be fun to play as?

We're finally getting those answers with the ratings rollout. Players are known to have some strong reactions to their ratings, so make no mistake, they care. That's not to say fans should too, but in the dog days of the NFL offseason, it's something to talk about.

MORE: Who's in Madden's 99 Club?

99 overall club

Justin Jefferson, WR, Vikings

Unsurprisingly, Justin Jefferson was announced Monday as the first player of the 99 Club. He led the league in 2022 with 128 receptions for 1,809 yards, 28 catches of 20-plus yards and 80 receptions for first downs.

Aaron Donald, DT, Rams

Aaron Donald on Tuesday was announced as the second member of the 99 Club — his seventh, most all time among any player in Madden franchise history. Donald missed six games in 2022, racking up five sacks and 11 QB hits. His consistent dominance helped him earn the record-breaking nod:

Zack Martin, RG, Cowboys

The six-time first-team All-Pro became the first guard since Larry Allen in 2003 to earn a spot in the vaunted 99 Club.

Travis Kelce, TE, Chiefs

Kelce on Thursday was revealed as the fourth member of the 99 Club, his fourth time receiving the rating in his 10-year NFL career. He has the most 99 ratings of any tight end in Madden history.

Patrick Mahomes, QB, Chiefs

Mahomes on Friday joined his Chiefs teammate as the fifth and final member of the 99 Club, his third time earning the 99 rating. He is now tied with Aaron Rodgers for the third-most appearances by a QB in the club.
