Madden 24 Rating Reveal week officially began today with some very special announcements. Today marked the announcement of the top 20 initial safety ratings in Madden NFL 24. Los Angeles Chargers Safety Derwin James Jr. is going to be the highest rated safety in Madden 24. The news comes from Madden's official twitter page:

James Jr. leads the overall safety ratings at 95. Here are the other 19 players joining Derwin James on the top 20 list:

  1. Derwin James Jr. (95)
  2. Minkah Fitzpatrick (93)
  3. Justin Simmons (92)
  4. Kevin Byard (92)
  5. Jessie Bates III (91)
