Caleb Williams Reacts to Madden NFL 27 Rating in Video, 'End of the Year It'll Be 99'

Chicago Bears quarterback Caleb Williams reacted to his 90 overall rating in Madden NFL 27.

"End of the year it will be 99," Williams said during a Wednesday appearance on the New Heights podcast. "It's alright."

Williams was officially announced as the cover athlete for the upcoming video game on Wednesday.

The 24-year-old became the first Bears player to be featured on the cover of the main version of Madden.

Philadelphia Eagles star running back Saquon Barkley was previously on the cover of Madden NFL 26, receiving a 99 overall rating at the time the game was released.

Williams is coming off an impressive 2025 season, helping Chicago win the NFC North with a record of 11-6 before advancing to the divisional round of the playoffs.

The No. 1 overall pick in the 2024 NFL draft completed 58.1 percent of his throws for 3,942 yards and 27 touchdowns compared to seven interceptions in 17 appearances. Williams also rushed for 388 yards and three scores.

If takes another step forward during his third season with the Bears, it isn't hard to imagine his Madden rating increasing once again.
