The Madden 25 best players list and 99 Club got two Super Bowl combatants right – but neither lifted the Lombardi Trophy. Travis Kelce and Patrick Mahomes both kicked off the Madden 25 season with the maximum possible rating, where they were joined by Christian McCaffrey, Tyreek Hill, and Trent Williams. However, it was Jalen Hurts – who didn't even make the top 50! – who steered his Eagles to glory. Relive the full list in GR's Madden 25 best players guide.
Madden 25 99 Club members
Five players made the Madden 25 99 Club at launch, and they’re all huge names with a Hall of Fame future. Cover athlete Christian McCaffrey is the first name on the list, alongside elite Chiefs duo Patrick Mahomes and Travis Kelce. Their former Kansas City team-mate Tyreek Hill joins them after another monster year in Miami, with 49ers tackle Trent Williams rounding out the awesome five-some.

Weekly digests, tales from the communities you love, and more

I'm GamesRadar's sports editor, and obsessed with NFL, WWE, MLB, AEW, and occasionally things that don't have a three-letter acronym – such as Chvrches, Bill Bryson, and Streets Of Rage 4. (All the Streets Of Rage games, actually.) Even after three decades I still have a soft spot for Euro Boss on the Amstrad CPC 464+.
