The Madden 25 best players list doesn't exactly kick off with a surprise – its top-ranked athlete also happens to be the game's cover star. But you can't say Christian McCaffrey is undeserving of the honor, and he's joined in the Madden 25 99 Club by Patrick Mahomes, Travis Kelce, and Trent Williams. Below you can see who narrowly missed out on that shortlist, along with the full top 50 solo rankings, in GR's Madden 25 best players guide.

Five players make the Madden 25 99 Club at launch, and they’re all huge names with a Hall of Fame future. Cover athlete Christian McCaffrey is the first name on the list, alongside elite Chiefs duo Patrick Mahomes and Travis Kelce. Their former Kansas City team-mate Tyreek Hill joins them after another monster year in Miami, with 49ers tackle Trent Williams rounding out the awesome five-some.
