The best linebackers of the NFL had their Madden 23 ratings revealed today and it's definitely an interesting list.

Let's check out the top 10 and the fifty best linebackers in the game.
Madden 23 ratings: Top 10 Linebackers
EA Ratings Week in Madden 23 has gone off without a hitch. Wide receivers and tight ends were revealed Monday and today linebackers were on the menu.
Coming in at the top spot was Fred Warner . However, there wasn't a single player that actually crossed the 95 OVR threshold. T.J. Watt is actually considered an edge rusher, so we won't count him.
It also seems as if the Madden 23 ratings are pretty spot on this year. It's nice to see that EA took great care to make the ratings realistic.
Here are the top 10 linebackers in Madden 23:
- Fred Warner (MLB) - 94 OVR - San Francisco 49ers
- Demario Davis (MLB) - 93 OVR - New Orleans Saints
- Lavonte David (MLB) - 92 OVR - Tampa Bay Buccaneers
- Bobby Wagner (MLB) - 91 OVR - Los Angeles Rams
- Darius Leonard (LOLB) - 90 OVR - Indianapolis Colts
