The 2025 NFL season is right around the corner, and with that, it means it's almost time for EA Sports' Madden 26 game, which will be released on August 14.

George Kittle (98 overall) was the only tight end ranked higher than Kelce, despite both Brock Bowers and Trey McBride clearly putting together better and more productive seasons in 2024. McBride (92 overall) and Bowers (90 overall) are not rated far below Kelce, but deserve to rate higher than him at this point of their careers.

As gamers eagerly await the release of Madden NFL 26 on Aug. 14, EA Sports provided a glimpse into the best players in this year's game.
