Madden 22: Top 10 Cornerbacks revealed

As the NFL has transitioned more into a passing league, there’s increased pressure on your defense’s secondary. As we saw with the Madden 22 recent ratings reveal, there are a ton of talented wide receivers, including the 99 rated Davante Adams.

That’s why guys like Jalen Ramsey and Stephon Gilmore are so incredibly valuable. They can stand alone on their defensive island and shut down top receivers with little help needed, freeing up your safeties. The cornerback position is becoming increasingly important to a defense, up there with pass rushers.

So who are the best cornerbacks in Madden 22?

Jalen Ramsey (Los Angeles Rams) – 99 overall
Stephon Gilmore (New England Patriots) – 97 overall
Jaire Alexander (Green Bay Packers) – 95 overall
Tre’Davious White (Buffalo Bills) – 93 overall
Marlon Humphrey (Baltimore Ravens) – 92 overall
Xavien Howard (Miami Dolphins) – 91 overall
James Bradberry (New York Giants) – 90 overall
Denzel Ward (Cleveland Brown) – 89 overall
Kendall Fuller (Washington Football Team) 89 overall
Darius Slay (Philadelphia Eagles) – 88 overall
Marcus Peters (Baltimore Ravens) – 88 overall
Byron Jones (Miami Dolphins) – 88 overall

Jalen Ramsey was revealed earlier as the fourth member in Madden 22’s 99 Club. The question then was who would be the second best-rated cornerback in the game. Many lobbied for Jaire Alexander, but it looks like EA gave the edge to Patriots cornerback Stephon Gilmore.

Gilmore was last year’s top cornerback with a 99 overall and at a 97 at launch, it’s possible he could reach that again. However, he’ll need to return to his 2019 form. Although he’s not quite at Ramsey’s level, Gilmore is second in the game in man coverage (98) and zone coverage (96).
