After a great 2019 season, Carolina Panthers star Christian McCaffrey leads all runners with an overall rating of 99 in Madden NFL 21.
There is also a decent gap between McCaffrey and No. 2 Derrick Henry, who scored a total of 93 in the upcoming video game.
The top 10 rankings for the position were revealed Tuesday, via ESPN’s Michael Rothstein:
1. Christian McCaffrey – 99
2. Derrick Henry – 93
S3 Nick Chubb – 92
S3 Ezekiel Elliott – 92
S5 Dalvin Cook – 91
S5 Saquon Barkley – 91
7. Aaron Jones – 90
8. Joe Mixon – 89
S9 Alvin Kamara – 88
S9 Josh Jacobs – 88
McCaffrey had previously been announced as a member of “Club 99,” joining Kansas City Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes:

The first-team All-Pro player led the NFL last season with 2,392 scrimmage yards and 19 total touchdowns, ranking second in the league with 116 catches. His versatility helped him stand out from the rest in his position.
Henry is still high after winning the rushing title with 1,540 yards plus 16 ground scores.
There are likely to be more disputes in the standings, including some players coming out of injury-filled seasons like Saquon Barkley and Alvin Kamara.
Last year’s No. 1 player Todd Gurley also came out of the top 10 entirely alongside big names like Melvin Gordon and Le’Veon Bell.
Nick Chubb was one of the greatest on the field after rushing for 1,494 yards for the Cleveland Browns in 2019 with 5.0 yards per carry.
