Top Rated Quarterbacks

The quarterback ratings listed below are the ratings you’ll find in the game at launch. As the season wears on, Electronic Arts may adjust some of the ratings. Over time, as things change in the NFL, the ratings in Madden NFL 18 may also be adjusted. However, at launch you’ll find the best quarterbacks below, as well as their individual and overall ratings.

If you’re new to Madden or just need a refreshers course, quarterbacks are rated in five different categories, along with an overall rating (which is not an average). We’ve already covered these ratings so be sure to check out what each rating means if you’re not quite sure. However, as a quick overview, AWR is awareness, SPD is Speed, ACC is acceleration, AGI is agility, and STR is strength.

Tom Brady Patriots 99 99 62 66 67 64
Aaron Rodgers Packers 98 97 79 82 82 58
