This week was the "Football is Back" bat signal for NFL fans. The first preseason game (Hall of Fame) is in the books. At the same time, EA Sports dropped the top ten player ratings separated by divisions for the new and improved Madden 26.

If you missed the announcement, ratings are being revealed as we speak. Two Eagles, Lane Johnson and Saquon Barkley, are in the 99 club, but it didn't take long for the vibe to shift. Offensive grades were also released. Jalen Hurts was given an 86 overall grade. A.J. Brown was given a mark of 93.
