EA reveals the 99 class of superstars in Madden NFL 26

Seven athletes have been selected, with two from the Philadelphia Eagles.

Every year, it's a tradition to wait and see who EA regards as the best NFL players of the prior season. We know this because when a new Madden NFL arrives, there are always a handful of superstars who are granted the illustrious 99 rating, meaning they are the best ranked athletes in the game. EA has recently revealed who these stars are for the upcoming Madden NFL 26.

With the Philadelphia Eagles being Superbowl champions and Saquon Barkley being the cover star, it's of no surprise that Barkley and even star guard Lane Johnson make the cut. Beyond this, there are five other 99 players, with the full list including the following:

Saquon Barkley - Philadelphia Eagles

Lane Johnson - Philadelphia Eagles

Lamar Jackson - Baltimore Ravens

Ja'Marr Chase - Cincinnati Bengals

Justin Jefferson - Minnesota Vikings
