There may not be a 99 Club member among the safeties in Madden NFL 26, but that makes the rating reveal all the more intriguing.
When it comes to the final line of defense on the field, the Atlanta Falcons have the most robust shield. Jessie Bates III leads this particular ranking with 95 OVR. He's been in the 90s since Madden NFL 22, continuing this streak for at least another year. This is the second year in a row he's dropped points, however, down from his historical best rating of 97 OVR in Madden NFL 24.
