Minnesota Vikings Pro-Bowl receiver Justin Jefferson has achieved a significant milestone in his virtual football career.

EA Sports and Madden NFL 24 proudly announced on Monday that Jefferson has become the latest addition to the prestigious Madden 99 Club.

This exclusive club grants him a rare 99 overall rating in the highly anticipated video game set to release in August.

Receiving a 99 overall rating is the pinnacle of success in Madden NFL, as it represents the highest possible rating a player can attain. The first edition of Madden to include 99-rated players was Madden NFL 99.

Jefferson’s inclusion in the Madden 99 Club marks him as the fourth player in Vikings history to earn a 99 overall rating. He joins an esteemed group that includes former defensive end Jared Allen, following his remarkable 22-sack season in 2011, reached a 99 overall rating in Madden NFL 11.

Additionally, Adrian Peterson received the coveted 99 overall rating in Madden NFL 25 after his remarkable 2,000-yard rushing season in 2012.

Expressing his excitement, Jefferson confidently agreed in a video released by EA Sports, “I think my Madden 24 overall rating should be 99.”

As fans eagerly await the release of Madden NFL 24, Justin Jefferson’s inclusion in the Madden 99 Club cements his status as one of the game’s premier wide receivers.

With his remarkable talents, speed, and dedication, Jefferson continues to make a name for himself in both the real and virtual football worlds.
