“Make this permanent”: Fans react as Pat McAfee gets 99 overall in Madden Ultimate Team

NFL enthusiasts were delighted by the news of Pat McAfee’s 99 rating in Madden Ultimate Team. The popular video game revealed that McAfee would be receiving a 99 overall middle linebacker card, recognizing his reputation as one of the most powerful punters in NFL history.

The announcement of McAfee being a 99-overall middle linebacker caused excitement among fans.

“Make this permanent.”

“W. Nobody punts in Madden so this way we’ll be able to actually use the guy.”

“This why you are so much better than @EASPORTSNHL.”

“Why not keep him at a 99? It’s like…almost the end of the game cycle. What wrong is it doing to us to not have that magnificent punter at a 99 to end the year?”

“Wow that’ll be an amazing card for 2 days.”

Despite receiving praise from most fans, there were concerns that the card would be downgraded after only two days.

Former Colts Player Vontae Davis Honored by Pat McAfee

It was announced on Monday that former NFL player Vontae Davis passed away at the age of 35. According to authorities, there is no indication of foul play in Davis’ death.

Upon hearing the news, Pat McAfee discussed his ex-teammate on his show.

“Vontae was an incredibly cool dude, good guy, nice guy, upbeat guy, energetic guy,” McAfee said, via the New York Post. “I think what we’ll remember him for is being an incredibly cool teammate in that locker room and being a guy that all of us enjoyed being around on a daily basis.

“Literally, if you knew him, you loved him, and you enjoyed the hell out of him. And today’s been tough. It’s going to be tough, but it’s a nice perspective-putter to remind everybody to reach out to your people… I haven’t talked to him in months, and obviously I’m never going to get to do it again.”

From 2012 to 2016, Pat McAfee and Vontae Davis were teammates on the Indianapolis Colts until McAfee’s retirement from the NFL.
