Madden NFL 26 Top DL ratings revealed — where does Steelers' Cam Heyward rank?
Here are the newly released Madden NFL 26 player ratings for the top-10 defensive linemen — with Heyward earning a respectable rating but an underwhelming placement behind three others.
Last season, Heyward put together a career performance at 35 years old — producing 71 combined tackles, 12 tackles for loss, 20 QB hits, eight sacks, and a league-leading 10 batted passes, earning a First-Team All-Pro selection in the process.
Arguably the best Steelers defender in 2024, Heyward will look to make an even bigger statement this season — one that will earn him the top spot in the Madden NFL 26 ratings.
