Saquon Barkley has made it happen – his teammate Lane Johnson has received a 99 rating in Madden NFL 26, joining the exclusive ’99 Club.’ The Eagles’ running back and cover athlete was instrumental in pushing for Johnson’s high score, stating he thinks Johnson is “the best football player in the NFL” and deserving of a 99.
Barkley isn’t surprised that another Eagle has joined him in the elite group. Last season, he became the ninth player in NFL history to rush for over 2,000 yards, and he’s not alone on the Eagles. Johnson is one of just three offensive tackles to earn a 99 rating since 2020.
Johnson’s achievement cements his status as a top player in the league. Barkley has praised Johnson’s skills, calling him “definitely a Hall of Famer.” The duo’s partnership extends beyond their playing careers – Johnson was presented with the ’99 Club’ chain by Barkley at the Eagles’ training facilities, solidifying their bond.
The Madden 26 cover athlete is thrilled to see his teammates succeed, saying he knows how much kelly green means to Philadelphia and is happy to be a part of it. With this achievement, the Eagles have another member in the prestigious ’99 Club,’ showcasing the team’s impressive talent.
