Football these days is a fast-paced game, and with how important passing has become in recent years, having pacey edge rushers that can pile pressure on opponent quarterbacks can be the difference between stopping that pass dead or conceding tons of space.

So if you’re in desperate need of someone who can quickly close down the space and stop any quarterback dead in their tracks, you’ve come to the right place, as we’ve put together a list of the 20 best and paciest edge rushers in Madden 25 for you to check out.

Any one of these 20 players would make fine edge rushers, but just because someone has a higher overall rating doesn’t necessarily mean they would make the best edge rusher. While Micah Parsons and Myles Garrett are two of the best players in the game, he also possesses more speed, making him a marginally better choice for the role. 

Two of our favourite picks from the list are Jacksonville’s Josh Allen and Houston’s Danielle Hunter. While neither has the very highest overall ratings, they both possess a massive 88 speed, making them both ideal choices for the edge rusher role.
