Just two QBs out of a 95. Rodgers out of the 90s club. Here are the top 10 Madden QB scores. Thoughts? 🤔 https://t.co/EkAeCYawiz
It is a suitable 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:

Quarterback first reached 99 in the Madden leaderboards in September, taking just 20 career games to reach that milestone.
Baltimore Ravens star Lamar Jackson is third in position with a 94 despite winning the MVP award last season and being the athlete cover for the next video game.
It makes up for it with high ratings for speed and throwing power compared to other notable players:

Tom Brady earned a 90 rating, fifth overall in the position, as he heads into his first year with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. The 42-year-old had a passer rating of 88.0 last season, tied for 18th in the NFL, but Madden clearly expects a rebound in 2020.
