Myles Garrett Joins Madden’s 99 Club in the Upcoming Madden NFL 23 Game

Posted on by Nafiz Labib

Cleveland Browns right defensive end Myles Garrett joins Madden’s 99 club in the upcoming Madden NFL 23 game with the highest possible overall rating. He joins San Francisco 49ers offensive tackle Trent Williams and Las Vegas Raiders wide receiver Davante Adams. More players are expected to join as we reach the game’s release date and all player’s ratings are released this week. Other positions’ 99 players will be revealed according to the timeline here:

While Garrett was also a part of the 99 club last year, this is his first year getting it right at the start of the season, meaning he doesn’t have to prove during the season that he’s the best defensive end out there. Garrett was 3rd in sacks last year with 16 sacks, an impressive feat. He also ranks in the 98th percentile in pass-rushing grade, pass-rush grade on proper pass sets, and pass-rush grade without play-action.

In modern sports games, a 99 overall is the highest rating you can give a player of any kind, whether it be overall or for specific stats and skills involved. It’s usually reserved only for the best of the best, which is something Myles Garrett has rightfully proven as he makes a case for currently being the best defensive end, competing against other top players like T.J. Watt, Nick and Joey Bosa, and Khalil Mack to come out on top as the highest rated DE.

Madden NFL 23 is the first game to release since the passing of former coach and sports commentator John Madden, the game’s namesake. The cover features the late John Madden on the back of the cover and is set to release on August 19th on all platforms. You can pre-order the game here.
