It wasn't all hype. Jones was one example. He did a good job of giving himself an overall score of 66. EA actually giving him a respectable score of 71. It's not bad for a rookie quarterback. He said, "Okay, I'll accept that." "It's acceptable. It's not about where you begin it's about where you end."

With ESPN's Madden 22 Ratings Week kicking off this weekend, we're wrapping up our own predictions, starting with wide receivers. We've already looked at running backs and quarterbacks, so let's wrap up the trio.

Two wide receivers ranked with a win in Madden 22's Club 99 -- the nickname for those with an all-time high 99 overall. Before we discuss the things I'm expecting is the case this year, we should examine those who began Madden 22 in the top five , and those who placed in the top five in the receiver position. At launch, here were the five highest-rated receivers:

If you've have read my predictions about Club 99 in Madden 22 and you know that I think they'll be there in the beginning of the season. Since we now know the names of two receivers I have predicted, here's who I believe will make the top five of overall ratings when we launch of Madden 22.

Also, this will not come as a complete surprise in the light of my earlier predictions. Davante will enter Madden 22 with a 99 overall rating following his year-end performance with 115 receptions and 1,374 yards.
