After leading the Kansas City Chiefs to their first Super Bowl in 50 years, Patrick Mahomes tops the Madden NFL 21 quarterback ratings with a 99 overall.

It's a fitting rating for a player who recently agreed to a 10-year extension worth up to $503 million.

Teammate Travis Kelce surprised Mahomes with the news:

The quarterbackย first reachedย 99 on the Madden ratings in September, taking just 20 career games to reach that milestone.

Baltimore Ravens star Lamar Jackson is third at the position with a 94 despite winning the MVP award last season and being theย cover athleteย for the upcoming video game.

He does make up for it with high ratings for speed and throwing power compared to some other notable players:

Tom Brady earned a 90 rating, fifth overall at the position, as he heads into his first year with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. The 42-year-old had just an 88.0 passer rating last season, tied forย 18th in the NFL, but Madden is clearly expecting a bounce back in 2020.
