Madden NFL 25 Announces Running Back Ratings, Second 99 Club Member

Madden NFL 25's second 99 Club member makes his living as a running back.

By Ricky Frech

Yesterday, Madden NFL 25 kicked off its "Ratings Week" by giving players their first look at the full ratings for wide receivers and safeties. In that drop, we learned that Miami Dolphins wideout Tyreek Hill is officially the first member of the 99 Club, taking over Minnesota Vikings stud Justin Jefferson for the top spot at the position. Today's ratings drop includes the ratings for every running back and defensive lineman in Madden NFL 25. This drop also includes the second member of the 99 Club, with Madden 25 cover athlete and San Francisco 49ers running back Christian McCaffrey joining the rarified air.

It's not too surprising to see McCaffrey get that 99 OVR rating. After all, he is the cover star for Madden NFL 25. While the team doesn't always give the rating to its cover athletes (Buffalo Bills QB Josh Allen was rated 94 OVR in Madden NFL 24, for example), McCaffrey has established himself as the best player at his position and led the Niners to the Super Bowl where they nearly took down Patrick Mahomes and the Kansas City Chiefs. Speaking of those Chiefs, Kansas City has the highest-rated defensive lineman this year with DT Chris Jones grabbing a 97 rating. Below, you'll find the full rundown on the Top 10 running backs and defensive linemen in EA Sports Madden NFL 25:
