EA Sports has revealed Madden 23's best NFL linebackers, and it's a fascinating list.

Madden 23 Ratings Week kicked off in style with the unveiling of wide receivers and tight ends Monday and now it's the linebacker's turn.

The linebackers continue to be the primary defensive communication position, as they take the command from the sideline and adjust the front line mainly from the sidelines.

With that said, in Madden 23, only a few players in this position reached 90 OVR or higher, while the majority of the top 10 stayed in the 80+ OVR range.

Enough babbling! Let's take a look at the top ten linebackers in Madden 23.
