EA just dropped the top-10 player ratings at each position for Madden NFL 26 — and despite being arguably the best defensive lineman in football last season, Steelers DT Cameron Heyward finds himself outside the top 3.
Here are the newly released Madden NFL 26 player ratings for the top-10 defensive linemen — with Heyward earning a respectable rating but an underwhelming placement behind three others.
-
Chiefs, Chris Jones — 97 Overall
-
Giants, Dexter Lawrence II — 97 Overall
-
Panthers, Derrick Brown — 95 Overall
-
Steelers , Cameron Heyward — 94 Overall
-
Buccaneers, Vita Vea — 93 Overall
-
Ravens, Nnamdi Madubuike — 93 Overall
-
Titans, Jeffery Simmons — 92 Overall
-
Jets, Quinnen Williams — 91 Overall
-
Eagles, Jalen Carter — 90 Overall
-
Colts, DeForest Buckner — 88 Overall
Last season, Heyward put together a career performance at 35 years old — producing 71 combined tackles, 12 tackles for loss, 20 QB hits, eight sacks, and a league-leading 10 batted passes, earning a First-Team All-Pro selection in the process.
Arguably the best Steelers defender in 2024, Heyward will look to make an even bigger statement this season — one that will earn him the top spot in the Madden NFL 26 ratings.
