Madden NFL 25: Top 25 Fastest Defensive Backs

Modern football has made passing the ball the most important thing a team can do. If you want to slow that down in Madden NFL 25, one of the best things you can do on defense is fill your defensive backfield with speed. Having guys who can keep up with the fastest wideouts in the NFL will let you keep even the best offenses in check. Below, we’ve collected the list of the Top 25 fastest defensive backs in Madden NFL 25. Using them in Franchise, Ultimate Team, or Head to Head will give you more than enough speed to put the opposing quarterbacks on their keisters.

Fastest Defensive Backs in Madden 25

Before getting to the list, it’s important to note that some of these players aren’t going to bring much more to the table than pure speed. Pittsburgh Steelers cornerback Kalon Barnes might be one of the fastest players in Madden NFL 25, but his other stats make him less useful than you’d like. To help you out, we’ll include each player’s overall rating and speed so you can better judge who fits your needs. We’re also only including players with a 70+ overall rating so you won’t see Barnes on this ranking. Players under 70 just aren’t good enough to be serious targets at the start of a franchise save for most. Here’s the list:
