EA Sports used Twitter to announce that four players have received the 99 overall rating — the highest rating that can be earned — on Friday, and one of those four players was Houston Texans wide receiver DeAndre Hopkins.
Others named to the 99 overall rating list were defensive players Aaron Donald (Los Angeles Rams), Khalil Mack (Chicago Bears), and Bobby Wagner (Seattle Seahawks).
The 99 overall rating for the upcoming release of the Madden NFL 20 video game is a well-deserved honor for the veteran Texans wide receiver, who will be entering his seventh NFL season, all with the Texans.
