Madden 24: Which NFL stars deserve a 99 rating this year, who'll be snubbed?
Buffalo Bills quarterback Josh Allen is officially the Madden 24 cover athlete, but it's unlikely he'll receive a spot in the "99 club," a virtually perfect rating reserved for a handful of elite NFL players. This year will likely see Minnesota Vikings wide receiver Justin Jefferson debut in that shortlist.
Kansas City Chiefs QB Patrick Mahomes was snubbed last year despite his 99 rating in Madden 22. He went on to win league MVP and the Super Bowl, so it's definitely not an exact science.
Mahomes, 27, has surely earned his spot back in the exclusive Madden club, and a possible snub this year will be Dallas Cowboys linebacker Micah Parsons.
