The Madden 27 quarterback ratings are out, and they've already caused a stir. Three-time Super Bowl champion Patrick Mahomes landed at No. 5 overall, behind Josh Allen, Joe Burrow, Lamar Jackson, and even Drake Maye. That's a ranking sure to raise eyebrows—and probably a few tweets from the White House.
President Donald Trump has been one of Mahomes' biggest cheerleaders, often praising the Chiefs star on his social media platform. With Mahomes now sitting at 93 overall—below quarterbacks like Matthew Stafford and Joe Burrow—Trump's reaction is almost guaranteed. The president has made it clear that he's not shy about weighing in on NFL matters, and this snub will likely get his attention.

Mahomes' drop to fifth might seem harsh for a quarterback who has won three Super Bowls and an MVP, but EA Sports clearly values recent performance and potential. Still, the ranking has sparked debate among fans and analysts. Some argue that Mahomes' new focus on health over heroics in 2026 could explain the dip, but others see it as a slight against one of the league's most dynamic players.
President Trump has previously called out Mahomes and his wife, Brittany, on Truth Social, thanking them for their support. In 2024, he wrote, 'I want to thank beautiful Brittany Mahomes for so strongly defending me... What a great couple – See you both at the Super Bowl!' So when the Madden rating dropped, it didn't take long for fans to wonder when Trump would fire off a response.
This isn't the first time the president has waded into sports debates. He's praised Shohei Ohtani as 'Best in the Game' during the Dodgers' White House visit and even took a swing at the struggling Mets. But Mahomes is clearly one of his favorites, and this ranking feels personal.
The Madden 27 ratings also highlight a shift in the NFL landscape. Josh Allen, at 99 overall, is the top dog, while Joe Burrow (97) and Lamar Jackson (94) round out the elite tier. Mahomes, despite his resume, now shares space with younger guns like Drake Maye. It's a sign that the league is changing, and even the best can't rest on their laurels.
For now, Trump hasn't commented on the Madden rating, but don't expect that silence to last. With the Chiefs gearing up for the 2026 season, the president's support might be the only thing that doesn't waver—even if EA Sports thinks otherwise.
