With Madden 22 ratings week finally winding down, things culminated with arguably the most important position in all of football.
We'll have continued live updates if more Madden 22 ratings are revealed, but we finally know this year's top quarterbacks.
Latest - Top Quarterbacks lead by Mahomes
After a week of major reveals, things finally culminated as the top quarterbacks in Madden 22 got dropped on ESPN.
While the ratings will certainly draw debate, only one player got to join the 99 Club for his third year.
