Baltimore Ravens quarterback Lamar Jackson has solidified his status as one of the elite players in the NFL, joining the prestigious 99 Club in the newly released “Madden 26” video game. This exclusive group also includes notable players such as Josh Allen from the Buffalo Bills, Justin Jefferson of the Minnesota Vikings, and Saquon Barkley of the Philadelphia Eagles.
Jackson’s impressive stats from the previous season, where he threw for 4,172 yards, secured 41 touchdowns with only four interceptions, and rushed for 914 yards, demonstrate his dual-threat capabilities. This achievement has led many to advocate for his recognition as last season’s NFL MVP.
The Ravens announced Jackson’s recognition on social media, celebrating his elevation to the highest-rated quarterback alongside Allen. For Jackson, this marks a significant milestone as it is his first time starting a season with a perfect overall rating of 99 after having reached that score during the season in previous years.
Expressing his excitement about the achievement, Jackson acknowledged the honor of being named among the best, stating, “Aye, this is crazy. I appreciate you guys. Shoutout to ‘Madden’ for putting me in the 99 club again. Let’s get ready for this season.”
In “Madden 26,” Jackson’s player attributes showcase his exceptional skills, particularly in areas critical for both running and passing. His ratings include a perfect 99 for throwing on the run, 98 for throwing under pressure, and a high rating of 96 for speed, reflecting his dynamic playing style.
This recognition not only highlights Jackson’s individual talents but also sets a positive tone for his upcoming season, where fans expect to see him lead the Ravens with similar success on the field. With the Ravens gearing up for another potentially strong season, Jackson’s status may inspire him to refine his game and continue his quest for an MVP title.
