Who is the best quarterback in the NFL? Well, Madden has weighed in on the debate.
EA Sports revealed the top 10 quarterback ratings for “Madden NFL 27” ahead of the 2026 season on Wednesday. While Monday’s announcement of the 99 Club spoiled who the top two quarterbacks in “Madden NFL 27” are, EA Sports revealed which quarterback received a higher placement.
As for quarterbacks not at the top of the list, Drake Maye and Dak Prescott both have ratings above 90, but neither cracked the top five of the rankings. Caleb Williams, who is this year’s cover athlete, also finds himself in the top 10 after a breakout second season with the Chicago Bears.
