This is Mahomes’ third time achieving a 99-overall rating in just seven seasons, while it’s the fourth time for Kelce. No tight end in NFL history has received the honor more than Kelce, while Mahomes is tied with Aaron Rodgers for the third-most at the quarterback position.

Chiefs’ Ratings in Madden 24

Not every position group has been released yet, but we know how some of the most important Chiefs players stack up against the competition.

Chris Jones has the second-best rating amongst all defensive linemen at 96 overall, trailing only Aaron Donald (99). Creed Humphrey comes in at 90, fellow offensive lineman Joe Thuney is an underrated 89, while defensive stalwarts like L’Jarius Sneed and Trent McDuffie are 84 and 80, respectively.

Outside of Kelce, the Chiefs’ receiving threats haven’t received much respect. Kadarius Toney is the Chiefs’ highest-rated receiver at 81, while Marquez Valdes-Scantling is a 78 and second-year wideout Skyy Moore is a 73.

Kansas City is expected to be the best overall team once all the rankings are released, but we know at the least that the Chiefs will have the game’s best one-two punch with Mahomes and Kelce.
