Madden 22: Tracking every single player rating reveal


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.

  • Matt Ryan, QB, Atlanta Falcons - 85 OVR
  • Ryan Tannehill, QB, Tennessee Titans - 87 OVR
  • Dak Prescott, QB, Dallas Cowboys - 87 OVR

Patrick Mahomes becomes the final member of the 99 Club in Madden 22, and he becomes the only quarterback to get that honor this year.

Top 10 Cornerbacks

After an offensive focus with running backs and tight ends on Wednesday, the next day saw a shift to some of the best ball hawks in the league.

This time the focus turned to cornerbacks, and here are the top 10 in Madden 22:

  • Darius Slay Jr, CB, Philadelphia Eagles - 88 OVR
  • Kendall Fuller, CB, Washington Football Team - 89 OVR

After wide receivers opened the week, we've finally learned about the top 10 tight ends in Madden 22, including another 99 Club member.

  • Dallas Goedert, TE, Philadelphia Eagles - 84 OVR

  • George Kittle, TE, San Francisco 49ers - 96 OVR
  • Travis Kelce, TE, Kansas City Chiefs - 99 OVR

Top 10 Running Backs & 99 Club

The big focus for Wednesday ratings was the top 10 running backs in Madden 22, and there's a surprising name at the top:

  • Joe Mixon, RB, Cincinnati Bengals - 88 OVR
  • Ezekiel Elliott, RB, Dallas Cowboys - 88 OVR
  • Josh Jacobs, RB, Las Vegas Raiders - 88 OVR

  • Nick Chubb, RB, Cleveland Browns - 96 OVR
  • Derrick Henry, RB, Tennessee Titans - 96 OVR
  • Christian McCaffrey, RB, Carolina Panthers - 97 OVR

While there's no arguing McCaffrey is one of the top players in the league today, many would have put Derrick Henry in the top spot.

We've got more details here on the snub of Derrick Henry when it comes to Madden 22 ratings.

Top 10 Wide Receivers

While we initially thought the reveal would come during the mid-day episode of SportsCenter, things got dropped early with the Top 10 Wide Receivers in Madden 22 being revealed even before Get Up.
