Matthew Stafford and Myles Garrett are among the players rated “99” in Madden NFL 27’s annual “99 Club,” according to reporting from Yahoo Sports and The Athletic. The game’s top overall rating is presented as an exclusive group, and Stafford is recognized for earning his first career “99” rating after a season that included an MVP performance. Together with Garrett, Stafford gives the Los Angeles Rams two members of the Madden “99 Club.”
The Athletic notes that the “99 Club” starts the year with six players total receiving the “99” rating. Both outlets connect the Rams’ representation in the group to Stafford’s new rating milestone, while also highlighting Garrett’s inclusion. While the sources focus on the players named and the size of the group, they do not add further detail on the remaining members in the excerpted coverage. The coverage is centered on the Madden NFL 27 preseason/game-release ratings announcement and the significance of Stafford’s first time reaching the highest rating.
