Madden 22's player ratings are being revealed all week on ESPN as part of EA's partnership with the sports network, and now the first of the ratings have been revealed.
Wide receiver Devante Adams of the Green Bay Packers is the first 99-rated player to be revealed for Madden 22. It's not his first time as a member of the 99 Club, which is no surprise given how impressive a player he is. EA surprised Adams while he was golfing with a gift package containing a special 99 necklace and a note signed by John Madden himself--check out the video below.

As mentioned, ESPN is revealing the Madden 22 ratings all week, so keep checking back with GameSpot for more to find out how your favorite player ranks.
The first Madden 22 player ratings were actually revealed on Sunday, when EA took the lid off the ratings for rookies. Mac Jones, the new QB for the New England Patriots, guessed that his OVR would be 66, but it was actually 71. Wide receiver Travis Etienne of the Jacksonville Jaguars guessed that his short route running rating would be 87, but it was really 67. "Ooh, that's disrespectful, man!" he says in the promotional video. Here's the full thing:
