It is that time of year! The player ratings for the new “Madden NFL 26” video game by EA Sports are getting released. They released the players who got perfect 99 ratings. No Arizona Cardinals players received a 99, which is not surprising.
They did have two players with ratings in the 90s.
The two were expected — safety Budda Baker and tight end Trey McBride.
