We talked about Adams potentially joining the very exclusive Madden 99 club when we were reviewing his Madden 21 rating a couple of weeks ago, and now the Madden Ratings Adjustors finally came through and awarded Davante Adams with the 99 OVR rating.
Adams caught 11 passes for 142 yards and three touchdowns to help keep the Packers' spot as the No. 1 seed in the NFC. The wideout joins Aaron Donald of the Los Angeles Rams, Deandre Hopkins of the Arizona Cardinals, Patrick Mahomes and Travis Kelce of the Kansas City Chiefs, and Stephon Gilmore of the New England Patriots as the only members of the 99-rating club.
He was limited a bit in the Bears’ game, but his four-yard touchdown catch also helped him make some history. Per Sports Illustrated, Adams tied Shannon Sharpe and Mark Clayton for third-most receiving touchdowns in NFL history. Those guys also had a few decent QBs throwing to them in John Elway and Dan Marino.
Adams began the season at 94 overall. He’s been bumped up one point overall five different times and was most recently improved to 98 overall in Week 13.
In just 13 games this season, Adams has 109 catches for 1,328 yards and an NFL-high 17 touchdowns. He caught three more touchdown passes against the Tennessee Titans on Sunday.
As of publication, Adams is the sixth player in Madden 21 to have the 99 OVR rating. It is a rating that is evaluated every week and is not permanent, though with the season he is having, Adams is in no jeopardy to lose his rating. He is the second wide receiver to be in the club, with Arizona Cardinals WR DeAndre Hopkins as the other. New Orleans Saints WR Michael Thomas was awarded the 99 OVR rating but has since dropped down to a 95 OVR based on the season and injuries that have hindered his performance.
Adams joined two Hall of Famers in Randy Moss and Cris Carter as the only three wide receivers in the history of the NFL to have over 100 receptions and 16 touchdowns in a single season. This goes to show how truly deserving of the honor he really is.
“I put in a lot of work for this, so I’m glad it’s paid off and I’m glad it’s getting recognized,” Adams said.
