Tom Brady has undoubtedly been one of the best quarterbacks in the history of the NFL which used to be quite visible through various ratings including the Madden ratings. Even in last year’s ratings, Brady was at no. 01 position overall. But this year, in Madden 24 ratings, only 4 players have received a 90+ rating.
Last year marked the retirement of Tom Brady as he retired in February 2022, but even during his last year, he got a rating of 97 and secured the 1st position overall. Before him were Aaron Rodgers (with a 96 rating) and Patrick Mahomes (with a 95 rating). Although it’s worth noting that the Tampa Bay Buccaneers star was not included in the Madden 24 ratings.
The main reason behind it is that he’s not playing in the NFL anymore. So this year, Kansas City Chiefs Star Patrick Mahomes gained the 1st position overall with a Madden 24 rating of 99 overall. Other than him, there are only 3 more players with a 90+ score in the ratings this year.
Preceding Mahomes is Cincinnati Bengals’ quarterback Joe Burrow who received a Madden 24 rating of 95. This further means that he’s not much behind Mahomes. After him comes Josh Allen of the Buffalo Bills who has a rating of 94 to help him grab the third spot in the ratings.
After him comes Lamar Jackson of the Baltimore Ravens at no. 04 with a rating of 91. As for Mahomes, he has more points in Madden 24 than Tom Brady got last year, but it’ll still take time for the quarterback to match the level of the NFL legend Brady.
A look at the Madden ratings of Tom Brady throughout his career
As Madden 24 ratings are out, it’s worth remembering Tom Brady. When the New England Patriots drafted Tom Brady in 2000, no one imagined the career that awaited the star player. Even his Madden ratings, in the beginning, were not impressive enough. In the Madden 2001 ratings, he got a mere 57, which transitioned to a 97 overall in his last Madden ratings.
His poor Madden ratings were there for the first two seasons because he got 57 and 51 overall. But after that, he bounced back with a Madden rating of 84 overall in 2003. Then after getting his first 90 overall ratings, he never got a Madden rating below 90.

The first time when Tom Brady got a 99 overall was in the Madden 8 ratings. He got the same ratings in the next season as well. Tom Brady holds the huge distinction of securing a Madden rating of 99, five times in his career. Also, the last time he got a 99 rating was in Madden 19.
Now that the Madden 24 ratings are released, fans must have missed Brady. Moreover, as this was the first Madden rating without him since his debut, it was an even bigger thing. But for now, it’ll be interesting to see whether Mahomes will be able to lead the Madden ratings in the coming years, like Tom Brady did, or not.
