Madden 25: 10 Fastest QBs, Ranked

Key Takeaways

  • Quality quarterbacks are essential for success in Madden NFL 25, with speed and decision-making being crucial factors.
  • Players like Lamar Jackson and Kyler Murray stand out for their exceptional speed and skills, making them ideal picks.
  • Contracts, salary, and player traits should all be considered when selecting a quarterback in the game.

As a seasoned Madden enthusiast with over two decades of gaming under my belt, I can confidently say that the top quarterbacks in Madden 25 are nothing short of extraordinary.

A football team’s quarterback functions similar to the human mind. Just like a game without a brain is inconceivable, so too would football be incomplete without a quarterback. The more skilled the quarterback, the more effectively a team can navigate various scenarios. However, just as the brain alone cannot perform tasks, it requires muscles to carry out its plans, implying that a good quarterback needs a strong supporting cast.

As a dedicated fan, I can’t stress enough the importance of finding an exceptional quarterback when building a winning team in Madden NFL 25. A top-notch QB not only needs to be accurate with their passes, but they should also have quick decision-making skills and the ability to move swiftly to execute plays at the last moment. For running quarterbacks, speed and agility are equally important, making them as nimble as a bullet on the field.

10 Jordan Travis

Speed: 88, Scrambling Quarterback

  • Overall: 66
  • Agility: 88

The New York Jets’ young quarterback might not have an outstanding overall score, but he boasts impressive Speed and Agility attributes that are his standout skills compared to the rest. These striking abilities make Jordan Travis a promising dual-threat quarterback initially.

His salary pales in comparison to elite quarterbacks, but he can be upgraded within the Ultimate Team by adding enough consumable items to enhance his overall performance. However, for Franchise players, Travis may not be a viable option right away because he’s tied to a four-year contract with the Jets.

9 Geno Smith

Speed: 89, Balanced Quarterback

  • Overall: 79
  • Agility: 80

Geno Smith may not be significantly quicker than Travis, but he boasts superior statistics across various aspects, making him a robust choice for any NFL team. In fact, his overall stats are 13 units greater than Travis’, and this disparity is also reflected in their salaries, with Smith earning 15 times more than Travis does.

Smith isn’t just swift on the field; he boasts additional talents as well. He has a Throw Power of 88 and a Short Accuracy of 90, indicating his proficiency in quarterback roles, particularly when it comes to passing. Moreover, his agility as a running QB is exceptional. Smith is also known for his bold decision-making skills, allowing him to confidently send passes even under intense pressure.

8 Joshua Dobbs

Speed: 89, Balanced Quarterback

  • Overall: 69
  • Agility: 85

Dobbs, much like Travis, holds a near-equal overall rating; however, he offers some distinctive qualities that make him an attractive choice over others. His 89 Speed and 85 Agility place him ahead of both Travis and Smith in terms of speed, but what truly sets Dobbs apart is his Ideal Decision Maker trait, which gives him the edge over Travis.

In just one year contracted with the San Francisco 49ers, earning a salary of $300K, Dobbs presents as an excellent value for any team seeking an affordable backup or third quarterback. Although his Average Sense of Pressure might not be top-notch, he brings notable potential to your roster.

7 Jalen Hurts

Speed: 89, Scrambling Quarterback

  • Overall: 84
  • Agility: 91

As a die-hard Eagles fan, I can’t help but marvel at how swiftly Jalen Hurts demonstrated his extraordinary talents for our team. By the end of just a few seasons, he had proven himself so impressively that he was presented with an unprecedented 5-year contract worth a fortune, complete with a no-trade clause – making him an unattainable superstar in the Eagles’ roster within the first five seasons of Madden 25.

Among Jalen Hurts’ stats, Agility and Precision are standouts, making him a formidable player. He also boasts Superstar X-Factor abilities, backed by the Ideal Decision Making trait that may not be top-notch but serves its purpose for seasoned players. However, his pressure sensitivity, unfortunately, is on the anxious side, which could use some improvement.

6 Jayden Daniels

Speed: 90, Balanced Quarterback

  • Overall: 80
  • Agility: 91

As a dedicated fan, I can’t help but be captivated by the rising star, Jayden Daniels. Despite carrying the burden of high pressure and exhibiting conservative decision-making tendencies, these traits seem to fade into insignificance when one looks at his remarkable all-around statistics.

Overlooking his impressive speed and agility, Daniels boasts a Throw Power of 91, allowing him to achieve Deep Accuracy of 82 and Mid Accuracy of 85. These statistics are commendable for a quarterback earning close to $7 million in salary at just 23 years old.

5 Malik Willis

Speed: 90, Scrambling Quarterback

  • Overall: 65
  • Agility: 92

In terms of the backup quarterback position on our team, Willis is another potential choice. However, he should primarily be seen as a reserve unless his performance improves dramatically through the use of enhancements. While Willis is noticeably faster than both Travis and Dobbs, he tends to be more cautious in making decisions, which may not make him the best option for passing plays, especially under high-pressure situations. This conservative approach could be due to his sensitivity towards pressure.

In summary, although Willis is young, his Speed, Agility, and Throw Power stats are impressive. However, for long-term commitments, his 4-year contract might not be ideal for franchise teams. Additionally, Willis’ salary of over $4 million is comparable to Daniels’, who is younger and more skilled.

4 Anthony Richardson

Speed: 91, Scrambling Quarterback

  • Overall: 72
  • Agility: 88

Among those listed, the youngest quarterback stands out not just for his age, but also for his exceptional skills. Anthony Richardson is undeniably gifted, and a swift glance at his impressive play from last season leaves no room for argument. He made history as the first rookie ever to score rushing touchdowns in his first three NFL games as a quarterback.

Any individual seeking a versatile quarterback with impressive statistics across the board, exceptional speed, and a moderately priced contract should definitely evaluate Richardson from the Colts. He currently holds a three-year deal with the team, earning over $3 million annually. However, this is a nominal cost for a QB boasting an Exceptional Awareness of Pressure and a Speed rating of 91.

3 Justin Fields

Speed: 92, Scrambling Quarterback

  • Overall: 74
  • Agility: 93

Compared to Richardson in nearly every statistical aspect, Steelers’ Fields exhibits a slight edge in speed and agility. However, he carries an unusual level of perceived pressure or anxiety. As for age, Fields is a bit older than Richardson, but with only one year left on his contract with Pittsburgh, he remains a potential candidate to step into the starting role next season.

60 Awareness for Fields poses a significant challenge, yet his Throw Power (91) and Deep Accuracy (80) make him quite capable of delivering precise passes across the field. With a wage of $3 million, Fields remains an economical choice for Franchise managers seeking valuable player investments.

2 Kyler Murray

Speed: 93, Scrambling Quarterback

  • Overall: 78
  • Agility: 90

In the NFL, Arizona Cardinals’ top quarterback, Kyler Murray, ranks second in speed among all players in the Madden 25 video game, with Lamar Jackson being the only player faster by a slim margin. While Murray excels at making smart decisions on the field, his tendency to feel pressure excessively can be a disadvantage.

He comes with a Deep Accuracy of 83, which is impressive, but he has a pretty high salary and a 5-year contract with the Cardinals. Both Jackson and Hurst have way lower salary rates while being Superstars.

1 Lamar Jackson

Speed: 95, Scrambling Quarterback

  • Overall: 98
  • Agility: 95

In addition to being the fastest quarterback in Madden 25, Jackson ranks second overall, just barely behind Mahomes. Speed isn’t his only exceptional ability; he also boasts impressive stats for Awareness (98), Short Accuracy (97), and Mid Accuracy (95).

Lamar Jackson demonstrates exceptional decision-making under pressure and has a knack for making critical plays, which are highly valuable qualities for a quarterback. Moreover, his exceptional skills keep him from losing the ball when he’s inside the zone, showcasing his superstar talent. In any fantasy draft, Lamar Jackson is undeniably the top pick for every player.
