American Football returns to gaming with Madden 25, following the hugely successful College Football 25 this summer, which included some of the fastest Quarterbacks to ever play the game. Madden 25 brings many changes from its predecessor, from updates to modes such as Franchise and Ultimate Team to a more slicker presentation. However, the best and fastest players continue to be key to gaining victory on the field.
While quarterbacks are usually known for their throwing abilities, many can also take off with the ball and run. This adds a new element to their game, frequently used to catch out defenses. Those QB's that are the best when running with the ball are all able to use speed to burst through gaps in the defense. Whatever mode you are playing you will want to know who the fastest QB's players are and take advantage of them by recruiting them to your team, making an immediate difference on the field. Here are the 10 fastest quarterbacks in Madden 25.

Madden NFL 25 Reveals Much-Needed Superstar Mode Changes
Superstar Mode will be back inMadden NFL 25but with some much-needed changes.
10 Josh Allen: 88
Madden 24 Cover Star Shines As All-Round Best QB
Overall | SPD | ACC | AGI | STR |
|---|---|---|---|---|
92 | 88 | 92 | 85 | 80 |
Four Quarterbacks in Madden 25 have an 88-speed rating, but by far the strongest is Buffalo Bill's star man Josh Allen. A former Madden cover star, Allen is known as one of the best all-around quarterbacks in the NFL, and it seems just a matter of time before he carries the Buffalo Bills to the Superbowl. He is the second highest-rated player on this list behind our number one spot, making him one of the best all-around players in the game.
In addition to his base 88 speed, Allen has 92 acceleration, making him a great quarterback who can quickly escape the pocket, is great on the ground, and is an expert at throwing the ball.
He has a long list of stats in the high 90s, including 99-throwing power, making him arguably the best all-around quarterback in Madden 24. Allen also possesses the Bazooka X Factor ability to increase his throwing distance and power even further.
9 Joshua Dobbs: 89
A Cheap But Quick Option At QB
Joshua Dobbs is fighting to be the backup Quarterback in San Francisco for the new season, but despite his low overall rating of just 69, he remains one of the quickest players if you get the ball in his hands. With 89 speed, Dobbs can compete with most wide receivers and running backs in a race while easily being able to clear many defensive players. 87 acceleration and 85 agility make him very useful in the right situation despite his limitations in the passing game.
8 Jalen Hurts: 89
A Real Dual Threat For The Eagles
Jalen Hurts nearly led the Philadelphia Eagles to Superbowl glory a few years ago, and he remains one of the most exciting players in the NFL. He is the eighth overall highest-rated Quarterback in Madden 25 and is in the top ten for speed, with an 89 stat.
Alongside high speed and acceleration stats, Hurts is excellent at getting away from pressure with a 93 break sack stat and 93 for throwing under pressure stat, which is vital, especially when playing online. Any of the best overall quarterbacks with high-speed stats are invaluable in Madden 25, and Hurts is one of the top stars.
Hurts also has four Superstar abilities, alongside the Run and Gun X Factor ability to further increase his powers on the field.
7 Geno Smith: 89
Veteran Smith Still At Top Speed
Veteran Geno Smith, 33, is now with his fourth NFL team. Despite his age, he remains one of the top 10 fastest Quarterbacks in Madden 25. Smith is expected to be the starting quarterback for the Seattle Seahawks this season, and his overall rating of 78 and 89 speed make him very useable for players in Madden 25.
While he may not have the star power of Patrick Mahomes or Lamar Jackson, Smith has the stats that make him useful while throwing or running the ball.
6 Malik Willis: 90
One Of The Fastest And Toughest To Stop
Malik Willis might be down the Tennessee Titans depth chart, sitting as the third-choice Quarterback, but he can be worth using in Madden 25 due to his lightning speed. Compared to most other QBs in the game, Willis has poor throwing stats, but if you are a player who likes using physical players, he is a good alternative.
With 90 speed and 93 acceleration, backed up by 72 strength and 94 toughness, Willis is tough to stop if you hand him the ball, and he can be an excellent option for specific situations or as a backup quarterback.
5 Jayden Daniels: 90
Rookie Set To Shine In Madden 25
Overall | SPD | ACC | AGI | STR |
|---|---|---|---|---|
74 | 90 | 91 | 91 | 59 |
One of the most exciting players in Madden 25 this year is also one of the quickest. Rookie Jayden Daniels was selected as the second overall pick in this year's NFL draft by the Washington Commanders, but his stats in the game are fantastic already. Daniels faced the Combine questions you can in Superstar mode in this year's Madden 25.
His standout numbers are his speed of 90 and acceleration of 91. However, his throwing numbers are also very impressive for a rookie, and of the players new to the game from College football, he is perhaps the most sought-after. He is expected to start for the Commanders this season, but he is one player you need to be using in this year's Madden.
4 Anthony Richardson: 91
Colts Break Out Star Tough To Stop
The Colts' starting quarterback, Anthony Richardson, was a bright spark for the team last season and is built in the mold of many of the top players on this list as a dual threat. Richardson has 91 speed along with 73 strength, which also makes him one of the strongest QBs in Madden 25.
However, it is his speed that makes him stand out. With 92 acceleration, 90 agility, and 90 toughness, he is hard to stop if you run the ball with him. If playing Franchise mode or Ultimate Team, Richardson is an outstanding QB to pick up, having all-around stats to match many of the top players, but with an overall rating of just 74, you can recruit him much more accessible.
3 Kyler Murray: 92
Cardinals Star Has It All
Experienced Kyler Murray remains one of the fastest Quarterbacks in Madden 25 ahead of his sixth year in the NFL. Murray is the third fastest Quarter Back in this year's game thanks to key stats of 92 speed and 93 acceleration. Murray is an excellent all-round QB, but his speed makes him stand out from many of the other options with similar overall ratings.
The Arizona Cardinals star lacks strength, so if running with him, it's best to avoid contact as long as possible, but his throwing numbers mean he performs better in the game than his rating would suggest.
2 Justin Fields: 93
Hard To Catch On The Field
Steelers Quarterback Justin Fields is far from guaranteed a lot of game time this year in the NFL, given he will be up against Russell Wilson for a starting spot, but he will be a popular choice in Madden 25 this year. Fields goes into this year's game as the second strongest, fastest QB with a 93-speed stat.
On top of this, he has a 96 acceleration, which is even higher than this list's number one spot, so when you run with this scrambler, you can easily burst away from the defense. He still has plenty of room to improve in other areas of the game, making Fields a great choice to use in Franchise mode, where you can increase his overall rating of 75.
1 Lamar Jackson: 95
Near Impossible To Stop Ravens Star
Overall | SPD | ACC | AGI | STR |
|---|---|---|---|---|
98 | 95 | 95 | 95 | 63 |
Since debuting in the NFL, Lamar Jackson has always been seen as the best elite running quarterback in the NFL. Despite being unable to fully translate this into success for the Baltimore Ravens when it matters, he is by far the fastest QB in the game. Known for being just as dangerous running the ball as throwing it, Jackson is the best option if you regularly mix it up. With 95 speed and 95 acceleration, there are only a handful of players who are faster than him across Madden 25, regardless of position.
Armed with the Truzz X Factor Ability normally only given to running backs, Jackson will rarely fumble the ball, which is a huge bonus when running at his speed.
Jackson is also the second highest-rated QB overall with a 98 rating, only behind league superstar Patrick Mahomes. If you want a fast quarterback in Madden 25, one man is clear above the rest: Lamar Jackson. The fastest quarterbacks in Madden 25 can all change matches on their own by keeping the ball and running, meaning you should add them to your roster if you get the chance.
