Madden 22 Defensive Linemen Ratings: EA Sports Announces Top 10 Rated DLs in Madden NFL 22

Madden 22 Defensive Linemen Ratings

Madden 22 Defensive Linemen Ratings: It’s finally that time of year again: Madden Ratings Reveal Week. Who are the highest rated defensive linemen in this year’s edition of Madden NFL 22?

Although the general attitude towards Madden has trended negatively the past few years, it really looks like EA Sports is trying to change that. When the cover was released a month ago, they announced a flood of new features such as “home field advantage”.

Even with the cover itself, it’s clear that EA tried to do something special. While people will complain about anything with Tom Brady on it, this year is the first time since Madden 10 that the cover features 2 athletes.

This week, EA has started revealing player ratings, via ESPN platforms. They initially released ratings for some of the more popular rookies, and are planning to release ratings by position now, using the following schedule:

  • Monday (July 26): Wide receivers
  • Tuesday (July 27): Defensive linemen, edge rushers
  • Wednesday (July 28): Running backs
  • Thursday (July 29): Safeties
  • Friday (July 30): Quarterbacks

Obviously, player ratings can, and usually do (for popular players), change over the course of a season. After the initial ratings come out at the beginning of the season, they’re adjusted according to the player’s real-life performance until the Super Bowl is over.

Therefore, many of the ratings being released this week are the same as they were at the end of last year. However for the DLs one player, Aaron Donald, sticks out as he’ll be joining the 99 club, along with Davante Adams (so far).
