Ja'Marr Chase (Wide Receiver, Cincinnati Bengals)
SPD 95, STR 73, AGI 92, COD 97, INJ 92, AWR 99

Josh Allen (Quarterback, Buffalo Bills)
SPD 88, STR 81, AGI 85, COD 82, INJ 99, AWR 96
THE 2024 NFL cover star returns to the same list for a consecutive year. Impressive stats (98 stamina and toughness) along with his throwing skills helped secure Allen's spot.
Justin Jefferson (Wide Receiver, Minnesota Vikings)
SPD 91, STR 64, AGI 95, COD 98, INJ 94, AWR 99
As the only other wide receiver to enter the list alongside Chase, Jefferson's edge in scoring better marks in the passing category add to his abilities.
Lamar Jackson (Quarterback, Baltimore Ravens)
SPD 96, STR 63, AGI 94, COD 95, INJ 92, AWR 97
Formerly on the cover of Madden NFL 21, Lamar Jackson brings speed, mobility and impressive throws on the table.
Lane Johnson (Right Tackle, Philadelphia Eagles)
SPD 77, STR 93, AGI 75, COD 58, INJ 84, AWR 99
Initially drafted with the Eagles back in 2013, Lane Johnson helped the team to a Super Bowl victory during his time as right tackle. Johnson's blocking stats currently cross well over 90 on the board, as reported by ESPN.
Saquon Barkley (Halfback, Philadelphia Eagles)
SPD 95, STR 81, AGI 95, COD 94, INJ 91, AWR 99
As the cover star for Madden 26, Saquon Barkley certainly takes the biggest slice of the cake this year.
Myles Garrett (Right Defensive End, Cleveland Browns)
SPD 87, STR 96, AGI 86, COD 71, INJ 92, AWR 97
As the final addition to this year's list, Myles Garrett's archetype falls in the category of being a power rusher.
All of these players have an OVR rating of 99.

Shannon Sharpe's sexual assault accuser's lawyer hits back, denies racial targeting as $50M lawsuit settlement sparks ESPN fallout
Shannon Sharpe's sexual assault accuser's lawyer denies racial targeting (Getty Images) Tony Buzbee defends his reputation amid accusations of racial bias Marine Corps bond reportedly helped close the case quietly NFL Hall of Famer Shannon Sharpe continues to face public scrutiny after the shocking lawsuit filed against him earlier this year by 19-year-old Gabriella Zuniga. As the dust settles from a quiet $50 million settlement, the spotlight now turns to the attorney representing Zuniga—Tony Buzbee—who's firing back after being accused of racially targeting high-profile Black Tony Buzbee, known for representing multiple women in the Deshaun Watson misconduct case, has strongly pushed back against Sharpe's claim that he deliberately goes after Black men. In a candid interview with Esquire, Buzbee made it clear: 'He has no relevance in my life. I actually think he's very entertaining when he yells and screams and talks about sports that he's not involved in. But if I think it's a legitimate case, then I pursue it. And I think this is worth my time.'Buzbee, who previously filed lawsuits involving Jay-Z and Sean "Diddy" Combs, now finds himself under fire for what critics see as a pattern. However, the Houston-based attorney insists his pursuit of justice is based on merit, not race. His comments come after Sharpe was accused by Gabriella Zuniga of rape, emotional abuse, and coercive behavior during their brief relationship in a former OnlyFans model, alleged she was subjected to public humiliation and non-consensual acts—claims that made headlines in April when the lawsuit was officially filed in the public tension, Sharpe's attorney Michael Marino revealed a surprising twist in the resolution. 'Like many highly successful individuals, Tony Buzbee is a complex and formidable figure,' Marino said. 'Our shared experience as former officers in the United States Marine Corps fostered a mutual respect... That brotherhood enabled us to speak candidly and constructively.'That connection led to a private settlement in July, one that has now prompted professional consequences. Sharpe was quietly let go from ESPN following the scandal, though he continues to remain a vocal presence through his popular podcasts Club Shay Shay and Read: 'She just wants attention': Simone Biles faces unexpected NFL backlash as feud with Riley Gaines fuels fan criticism
