With the exception of a few exemptions over the years, Madden’s 99 Club has long been dominated by MVP candidates, and frontrunners for Offensive and Defensive Player of the Year.
But, every now and then, players who dominate the game at less glamorous positions receive the recognition they rightfully deserve. On Wednesday, in anticipation of the upcoming release of Madden NFL 23, representatives from EA Sports paid a special visit to one of the newest members of this year’s class: 49ers left tackle Trent Williams.
A video shared on social media by running back Adrian Peterson, Williams’ former Oklahoma teammate and a past 99 Club member (Madden ’14), shows the moment the 33-year-old learned he had been selected to join the exclusive group.
