Madden NFL 15 - Top Free Safeties

07:39 PM - July 31, 2014 by Steve_OS

EA Sports has just revealed the top free safeties in Madden NFL 15. New screenshots can be seen here.

Jairus Byrd - Overall 96
Earl Thomas - Overall 95
Devin McCourty - Overall 94
Eric Weddle - Overall 94
Charles Woodson - Overall 86

Just guessing we see strong safeties tomorrow and that will throw the complete schedule EA Sports sent us out of whack. We will post a new schedule if they send us an updated one.

Thomas makes that defense work. His range is phenomenal. Just don't know how you can say there's a better FS in the league than him

I like CWood but how is he still top 5? 86 is not a steep rating though so I suppose he is in his place.

I'm cool with CWood getting love. His ratings aren't up there like the top 4 so that seems alright. And Earl Thomas is the top safety in the NFL.

# 24 TheBleedingRed21 @ 07/31/14 08:56 PM

Stats alone.. Thomas had 1 more INT and almost 60 more tackles.

Eric Weddle?

# 27 RogueHominid @ 07/31/14 09:23 PM

It's nice to see Woodson get some love, and I also like that there's such a sharp drop off between 4 and 5.

# 28 steelersredspacers @ 07/31/14 09:24 PM

Woodson might have the 5th best overall, but guys like Mike Mitchell of the Steelers will preform better in game because of their superior athleticism.

# 29 skinnybonez @ 07/31/14 09:25 PM

smh @earl not at 1 and having generic face

# 30 The JareBear @ 07/31/14 09:30 PM

Weddle may be overrated but he's a very solid player, probably a 89-90 legit.

I would rate Woodson an 81

Wonder what they gave Reid

I like the drop off as well, but really think it should have been after #3 and have Weddle a little lower. Still at #4 just a little lower.

# 32 michiganfan8620 @ 07/31/14 09:47 PM

Byrd only played 11 games last year, hence the lower stats. I think they should be about the same OVR

# 33 Kaiser Wilhelm @ 07/31/14 09:47 PM

Of course Byrd is the highest rated FS the year after he leaves Buffalo. Also, Byrd is definitely among the top 2 in the league. He has a great eye for the ball and amazing reaction times.

# 34 SiNsinNatti @ 07/31/14 09:47 PM

I'm confused, Woodson over Will Hill? Lol. I'm not even asking for Hill to be top five I'm just not getting the Woodson rating. I guess it's one of those hey we like you. I know these ratings change but c'mon man.

# 35 hanzsomehanz @ 07/31/14 09:56 PM

Ahead of CWood is guys like;

Dashon Goldson
Tashaun Gipson
Will Hill/Rolle
Demps
Reggie Nelson
Cowboys safety
Eric Reid

Woodson is a household name but not a top 5 gamechanger he once was, let alone at safety.

There is a big drop off from Weddle to Woodson, so Woodson is probably in the tier of the guys listed as "being better than Woodson", lets not get carried away with the Top 5 designation. He has such a high rating due to AWR, PRC, and probably a few other categories that are based more on football intelligence.

# 37 StL_RamZ @ 07/31/14 10:08 PM

No Eric Berry???

# 38 Bootzilla @ 07/31/14 10:12 PM

Earl Thomas is the best. Makes that entire secondary go. Honestly if Sherman is a 99 Thomas should be a 99.5
