The Fastest Players In Madden NFL 24

Speed kills, as they say in the National Football League. With the right play call and play design, it often suffices to send your fastest player on a streak, throw a deep pass, and hope that the receiver is faster than the cornerbacks or safeties.

Interestingly, players don't even need a high OVR rating in Madden NFL 24. In past games, it has often been noticed that sending the fastest players on the field are more effective than using the best players.

This is true not only for the offense but also for the defense. Edge rushers with high speed are particularly valuable. That's why Micah Parsons (Dallas Cowboys) is the best player in Madden NFL 24 – because he is extremely fast and has a high OVR rating.

Madden NFL 24: The Fastest Edge Rushers

As mentioned earlier, fast edge rushers are essential for a good pass rush. Edge players play a premium position and can completely shift the momentum with their speed. Here are the fastest edge rushers in Madden NFL 24:

Micah Parsons stands out here, of course. With his abilities and the "Pass Commit" instruction, he reaches the opposing QB in under three seconds. Quite a monster, this guy.

Madden NFL 24: The Fastest Linebackers

Until Madden NFL 24, linebackers were considered the "weakest" players because they were simply too slow and immobile to keep up with the fast and agile receivers. When controlling a player (usually the middle linebacker), stats like Play Recognition and Awareness don't play a big role. It's all about speed. That's why in past games, a safety was often played as a sub-linebacker (SUBLB).

In Madden NFL 24, linebackers are meant to be more useful, and here are the fastest players at this position:

Devin White is certainly the most interesting player here because he has both pace and a high OVR rating. The other candidates are similarly fast but might pose coverage problems.

Madden NFL 24: The Fastest Cornerbacks

Cornerback is a premium position, also in Madden NFL 24. You need good and fast players to defend against the best wide receivers. Here, too, pace is mostly more important than the overall rating. Here are the fastest CBs:

Tariq Woolen is an absolute monster. Not only is he the fastest, but he is also one of the biggest DBs in Madden NFL 24, which means he can hardly be beaten in a 1v1 situation. Moreover, he already has an 83 rating, and he will develop fantastically in the Franchise Mode.

Madden NFL 24: The Fastest Safeties

Among the few position groups where pace is not the most crucial factor are safeties, alongside offensive and defensive linemen. Here, players primarily need high ratings in Awareness, Tackling, and Play Recognition. Nevertheless, players should have a speed of at least 88, as the other stats won't be of much use otherwise.

Hill, Simmons, and Chinn are good safeties that you can also use as a user if linebackers become unplayable as SUBLB again.

Now that we have covered the fastest defensive players, let's move on to the offense, where things get really interesting and fast.

Madden NFL 24: The Fastest Quarterbacks

For quarterbacks, speed is not as important as for other positions. However, some QBs are vital for the run game. The most prominent example is Ravens QB Lamar Jackson, who is one of the fastest players in Madden NFL 24.

There are now actually many fast QBs. The traditional pocket passer is becoming increasingly forgotten. Many rookies or young players bring real pace to the QB position. Eagles star Jalen Hurts narrowly missed the list of fastest QBs in Madden NFL 24.

Madden NFL 24: The Fastest Running Backs

Running backs need a healthy mix of speed, break tackle, and carrying. For example, it's not a problem that Nick Chubb has "only" 91 speed because he simply runs over his opponents. The following players in our list of the fastest running backs in Madden NFL 24 won't be caught by the defense once they've taken off.

Kenneth Walker is by far the best player on this list. I've seen what this guy does to defenders in Madden NFL 23, and it wasn't suitable for all audiences.

Madden NFL 24: The Fastest Tight Ends

Tight ends are becoming more mobile and faster in modern NFL. At the catch point, a DB stands almost no chance against a good and fast TE. The fastest TEs can also attack the field vertically.

Here we have Kyle Pitts, who is even a Superstar X-Factor on the list. Players like Darren Waller, Evan Engram, George Kittle, or Noah "The Elephant" Fant just missed the table.

*Taysom Hill is the best football player in the NFL, there's no doubt about it. The man can play quarterback, running back, fullback, tight end, wide receiver, kick returner, and special teams. In Madden NFL 24, he is listed as a tight end, but that could change after every game.
