Cincinnati Bengals receiver Ja'Marr Chase wanted to let teammate Joe Burrow know that Chase joined the prestigious Madden 99 club before the Bengals' star quarterback did. The Bengals shared video of Chase, who got a 99 overall rating in Madden NFL 26 to become the first Cincinnati player in the club, informing Burrow of his new status.

The Cincinnati Bengals finally have their first 99 overall-rated player in the historic Madden football franchise. While the Bengals got to work at training camp, EA Sports peeled back the proverbial curtain on this year’s 99 class ahead of this year’s Madden launch.

Bengals edge rushers Trey Hendrickson and Shemar Stewart may have ended their high-profile holdouts, but it remains to be seen if this new duo can spark one of the worst defenses in the league that is currently wasting Joe Burrow and Ja'Marr Chase in their primes.
