Madden '99 Club' unsurprisingly features former Penn State running back

Madden NFL 26 releases August 14 and in announcement on Monday regarding different details of the game, EA Sports revealed the seven-player "99 Overall Club." Not only was a former Penn State football running back a no-brainer to make the exclusive group, but Philadelphia Eagles' Saquon Barkley will be the cover star of this edition of the video game.

Barkley received a 95 speed rating, 81 strength rating, 95 agility rating, 94 change of direction rating, 91 injury rating, and 99 awareness rating. Just below Barkley with a 98 overall rating is Baltimore Ravens' Derrick Henry.
