Madden NFL 24: Top 10 Ranked Cornerbacks

Madden NFL 24: Top 10 Ranked Cornerbacks

The Top Cornerbacks in Madden NFL 24

There’s an old saying that goes, “There is no defense for the perfect pass,” and it’s absolutely true. No matter how tight the coverage is, if a quarterback has enough time, a wide receiver will inevitably find a gap. But let me tell you, this is exactly why the top cornerbacks in Madden NFL 24 are so valuable. They have the skills to stop this from happening, even if only for a few precious seconds.

In the real NFL, quarterbacks don’t have the luxury of endless time in the pocket. They’re constantly under pressure, which makes coverage sacks as huge as the interceptions made by the best cornerbacks. And boy, do we have some incredible cornerbacks in Madden NFL 24!

Number 10: Denzel Ward – 88 OVR

Denzel Ward

Let’s start with Denzel Ward. Despite the Browns’ record last season, Ward showed what he’s truly made of. He set career highs in tackles and interceptions, and boy, he was snubbed for the Pro Bowl unfairly. But fear not, because Ward is ready to prove himself once again. With his ability to read routes and shut down passing lanes, he’ll be a force to be reckoned with. If the Browns reach their full potential this season, Ward will definitely help them make a deep playoff run.

Number 9: Tre’Davious White – 90 OVR

Tre’Davious White

Buffalo is known for having an incredible secondary, and Tre’Davious White is a big part of that. With his ability to limit superstar wide receivers, White is a nightmare for opponents. Unfortunately, injuries have cut short the last two seasons for this two-time Pro Bowler. But mark my words, if he stays healthy this year, White will not only secure his third Pro Bowl appearance but also lead this team to great things. Last season, they came so close to it all, despite missing key players.

Number 8: Marshon Lattimore – 90 OVR

Marshon Lattimore

The Saints have some elite players on their roster, including one of the best linebackers in the league. But let’s give credit where credit is due, Marshon Lattimore holds down a defense that is constantly tested while the offense tries to find its footing. Sadly, Lattimore missed almost the entire last season due to injury, and boy, did they miss him. With him back on the field and a proven quarterback leading the pack, this New Orleans team is poised for greatness.

Number 7: Stephon Gilmore – 91 OVR

Stephon Gilmore

Stephon Gilmore has become somewhat of a hot potato in recent years. Despite playing at a high level consistently, he’s found himself on four different teams in four years. But let me tell you, his play is not dropping off one bit. Gilmore started all 16 games last season, setting a career-high in tackles. Opponents usually avoid throwing his way because they know they’re only asking for trouble. No one wants to mess with this former Defensive Player of the Year and Super Bowl champion.

Number 6: Darius Slay Jr. – 92 OVR

Darius Slay Jr.

In the past six seasons, Darius Slay Jr. has made the Pro Bowl an impressive five times. He’s an absolute beast at locking down receivers. In fact, he led the league in interceptions back in 2017, sending a clear message to all quarterbacks: “Throw at your own risk.” Even against the best wide receivers, Slay maintains his exceptional level of play. He’s a true ballhawk and a valuable asset in team tackles. If he keeps up this current level of skill, the Philadelphia Eagles will be contenders for the championship once again.

Number 5: Sauce Gardner – 93 OVR

Sauce Gardner

What a rookie season it was for Sauce Gardner! Not only did he make the Pro Bowl, but he also won the Defensive Rookie of the Year award. Quarterbacks kept challenging him, but he kept shutting them down, batting down an incredible league-leading 20 passes. And here’s the thing, that’s not just impressive for rookies; it’s impressive for all defensive players. Gardner’s exceptional progress has turned the New York Jets from a rebuilding team into a win-now contender. Brace yourselves!

Number 4: Marlon Humphrey – 93 OVR

Marlon Humphrey

Let’s talk about those injury-prone Ravens for a moment. Last season, Marlon Humphrey managed to escape the wrath of injuries that plagued his teammates. Wide receivers lined up against him must have been disappointed because he had an outstanding year. He tied his career-high in interceptions and set a new record in sacks. Baltimore fans, rejoice! In Madden NFL 24, you can finally witness a healthy and dominant Humphrey leading your defense to glory.

Number 3: Patrick Surtain II – 94 OVR

Patrick Surtain II

The Broncos would have gladly skipped the disastrous 2022 season, just as Madden might need to skip a year at some point. But amidst all the offensive struggles, there was one shining light for Denver: Patrick Surtain II. This young cornerback proved to be a nightmare for quarterbacks, picking off passes and disrupting plays left and right. He’s already one of the most feared defenders out there, and he’s just getting started. Watch out, NFL!

Number 2: Jaire Alexander – 95 OVR

Jaire Alexander

Now, I know Jaire Alexander may not have been the first name that comes to mind when thinking about the cover of Madden, but boy, did he prove himself last year. He was more than just “pretty good”; he was truly great. With a career-high of five interceptions, Alexander became an absolute menace for opposing quarterbacks. Despite the Packers’ disappointing offense, their defense was better than predicted, and Alexander played a significant role in that. Buckle up, because this rising star could soar even higher!

Number 1: Jalen Ramsey – 97 OVR

Jalen Ramsey

The Rams may have had a rough year following their Super Bowl appearance, but there’s one player who consistently shines: Jalen Ramsey. Despite the team’s struggles, Ramsey earned his sixth consecutive Pro Bowl selection. And get this, he had arguably his best year yet, recording career highs in forced fumbles, interceptions, tackles, sacks, and tackles. You’d think a player of his caliber deserves a perfect rating of 99 OVR, but hey, we can’t always get perfect ratings in Madden. Regardless, Ramsey is a force to be reckoned with on the field. Avoid him at all costs!

So there you have it, the top cornerbacks in Madden NFL 24. These guys are truly exceptional at their positions, and they’ll enhance your Madden gaming experience like never before. Get ready, as Madden NFL 24 hits the shelves on August 18th, 2023, for PC, PlayStation, and Xbox consoles. It’s going to be a season to remember!
