Okay, so I got caught up in Madden 24 again recently, you know how it goes. I got this idea stuck in my head – I wanted to figure out who the absolute fastest running back is in the game right now. Like, pure straight-line speed, the guy who can just blow past defenders if he gets a bit of space.
First thing I did was just fire up the game and head straight into the rosters. Seemed like the easiest place to start, right? Just go team by team, filter by the RB position, and look at that speed (SPD) rating. It takes a bit of clicking around, but hey, gotta do the groundwork.
I had a few guys in mind already. You hear names thrown around. Raheem Mostert always comes up when you talk speed, so I checked him first. Yep, still got wheels. Then there’s that rookie, De’Von Achane down in Miami. Heard a lot about his track speed, so I was curious about his rating.
Digging into the Numbers
So I’m scrolling through, team by team. Here’s kinda what I found myself looking at:
- De’Von Achane (Dolphins): Man, his speed rating jumped out right away. Seriously high number there. Definitely top of the list just based on the raw stat.
- Raheem Mostert (Dolphins): Like I thought, right up there too. Miami’s got a track team in the backfield, apparently.
- Jahmyr Gibbs (Lions): Another young guy, super quick. Checked his rating, very respectable speed.
I looked at a few others too, guys known for speed in previous years, but honestly, those top few, especially Achane, seemed to be in a class of their own based purely on that speed attribute this year.
Just Checking How it Feels
Numbers are cool and all, but I like to see how it actually feels in the game. So I took Achane into practice mode. Didn’t do anything complicated, just ran some basic stretch plays and sweeps, the kind where speed really matters getting to the edge.
Yeah, you can feel it. When he turns the corner, he just seems to hit a different gear compared to other backs I tried out. It’s that kind of speed that makes your opponent panic a little bit on defense.
So, after poking around in the rosters and just messing about on the practice field, my conclusion? De’Von Achane seems to be the undisputed speed king at RB in Madden 24 based on the ratings. If you’re looking for that pure burner to potentially rip off a long touchdown, he’s the guy I found standing out the most during my little deep dive. Simple as that, really. Just wanted to see who had the highest number and he was the one!
