Madden 99 Club: 49ers’ Christian McCaffrey joins Tyreek Hill in club

A second member of the 99 Club in Madden 25 was unveiled on Tuesday.

San Francisco 49ers running back Christian McCaffrey received a 99 overall rating in the video game. McCaffrey, who is also the cover star for Madden 25, is the first running back in 49ers history to receive a 99 overall rating in the Madden video game series.

The first member named to the 99 Club was superstar wideout Tyreek Hill, making him the first Miami Dolphins player to receive a 99 overall rating. Hill was also the only receiver to receive the elusive near-perfect rating. Following closely behind Hill was the Minnesota Vikings‘ Justin Jefferson (98 overall) and the Dallas Cowboys‘ CeeDee Lamb (96 overall).

The overall ratings for safeties were also unveiled, but none received a 99. Atlanta Falcons star Jessie Bates III received the highest rating among all safeties at 97. Tampa Bay Buccaneers star Antoine Winfield Jr. had the second-highest rating among safeties, receiving a 94.

EA Sports will release rankings for each position throughout the week.
