EA Sports reveals Madden NFL 25 receiver and safety ratings

And these are some of the best

EA Sports

EA Sports is starting to roll out the Madden NFL 25 ratings, and the sports game’s first batch is all about safety and wide receivers. Some of the ratings probably come as little surprise. Tyreek Hill, for example, leads the chart with an OVR of 99, after he led the league in yards received in 2023, while Jessie Bates III is the top-rated safety, a fitting place for the safety who won defensive player of the week for two weeks in the same season.

EA Sports will publish more ratings as the week wears on, but for now, these are the 15 highest Madden NFL 25 ratings for wide receivers and safety. We've included their OVR ratings, along with the other metrics EA Sports uses to gauge those ratings, including speed, stamina, jump, and injury.
