Overview

  • EA Sports continued its staged ratings rollout by publishing top-10 lists for edge rushers, linebackers and cornerbacks, with the most recent reveals confirming those position rankings.
  • Myles Garrett leads the edge rushers at a 99 overall, Fred Warner is the top linebacker at 97 overall, and Christian Gonzalez is the highest-rated cornerback at 98 overall.
  • Six players were placed in Madden 27’s 99 Club: Ja’Marr Chase, Jaxon Smith‑Njigba, Josh Allen, Matthew Stafford, Trey McBride and Myles Garrett.
  • EA says preseason ratings are provisional and will be adjusted before and during the NFL season, and the game launches worldwide on Aug. 13 with early access available for MVP+ members.
  • The ratings rollout has spilled into real-world NFL coverage — for example Patriots owner Robert Kraft confirmed a large offer to Christian Gonzalez — and these scores can affect contract talks, media narratives and fan debate.
