EA has designated each day of the week for reveals of new Madden NFL 21 ratings. Each day, EA reveals the overall ratings for players for a certain position. Yesterday, the overall ratings for quarterbacks was revealed, with Patrick Mahomes becoming the first member of the illustrious 99 club.
EA will be revealing the overall ratings for running backs today. Before all the running backs react to their overall ratings, one player has earned the next spot in the 99 club. Christian McCaffrey has been revealed as the next player who will have a 99 overall rating in Madden NFL 21. As the running back for the Carolina Panthers, Christian McCaffrey was selected as a First-Team All-Pro and was also selected for the Pro Bowl last year.
Christian McCaffrey first joined the 99 club mid-season last year when his incredible season proved he was meant to be the youngest player with a 99 rating. After finishing the season with over 1000 yards in both rushing and receiving, McCaffrey has earned another 99 rating for the upcoming Madden game. McCaffrey is starting this season without his longtime quarterback, Cam Newton, but will look to maintain the 99 rating with another dominating season.
Both times Christian McCaffrey has earned a 99 rating, he states his love for Madden, claiming that as a kid, he would make himself a 99 overall each year. He has certainly achieved his goal and stands among amazing players who have been in the 99 club. With Madden NFL 21 showing off the dynamic controls and new stick moves, players will be able to control McCaffrey as he weaves through defenses on the field of Madden NFL 21.
Madden NFL 21 launches August 28 for PC, PS4, and Xbox One, with PS5 and Xbox Series X versions also in development.
