Madden 24's Player Ratings are slowly being revealed throughout the week. So far we've learned that Vikings' WR Justin Jefferson and Rams' DT Aaron Donald will join the prestigious 99 club, which gives them highest rating in the game. For Jefferson, it marks his first appearance in the club. For Donald, it marks his 7th, the most in NFL history.
Today we got more rating reveals for more defensive positions, including Edge Rushers and Defensive Linemen. To no one's surprise, Aaron Donald leads the pack for Defensive Linemen ratings in Madden 24. He's joined by Kansas City Chiefs' DT Chris Jones as the two are easily among the best in the league.
Madden 24 Top 20 Defensive Linemen
Let's look the top 20 defensive linemen for Madden 24.
- Aaron Donald (99)
- Chris Jones (96)
- Dexter Lawrence II (94)
- Quinnen Williams (93)
- Cameron Heyward (93)
- Johnathan Allen (92)
- Jeffery Simmons (89)
- Vita Vea (88)
- D.J. Reader (87)
- Christian Wilkins (86)
- Grady Jarrett (86)
- Kenny Clark (86)
- DeForest Buckner (86)
- Za'Darius Smith (85)
- Calais Campbell (85)
- Grover Stewart (85)
- Javon Hargrave (84)
- Derrick Brown (84)
- Da'Ron Payne (83)
- John Franklin-Myers (83)
After a 15.5 sack season which saw him earn a Pro-Bowl nod and a Super Bowl Ring, Jones fell just 3 points short of being a 99 overall. Chances are he's shaking his head right now with the way the Madden franchise is seemingly treating him in recent history.
It's also crazy to see longtime vet Calais Campbell remain in the top 20. At 36 years old the Defensive End landed 5.5 sacks in his previous season with the Ravens. He blocked a potential game-winning field goal by the Steelers in Week 14, ultimately helping the Ravens reach the playoffs without Lamar Jackson.
Looking at stats alone, you may wonder why Dexter Lawrence is so high on the list. But when you watch the film, you'll realize Lawrence is the best Nose Tackle in football, and a force to be reckoned with.
