Typically, the fastest players on defense in Madden 23 have the best speed ratings will assist players in picking the correct team to prevent opposing wideouts from streaking down the field.
Speedy cornerbacks not only will be better in man coverage against fast wide receivers, they will also prevent long runs by getting into the play from far away. Once the running back or quarterback gets outside the linebackers, it may require a quick cornerback to catch up and make the play to prevent a touchdown. Some cornerbacks could also be used in kick and punt returns.

Above are the top ten highest speed ratings at the cornerback position in Madden 23. There are five other cornerbacks that also have a 94 speed rating. They are Kelvin Joseph (Dallas Cowboys), L’Jarius Sneed (Kansas City Chiefs), Rico Gafford (Green Bay Packers), Denzel Ward (Cleveland Browns), and Shaquill Griffin (Jacksonville Jaguars).
The Carolina Panthers, Green Bay Packers, and Jacksonville Jaguars all have two players on this list. Having multiple cornerbacks with extremely high-speed ratings will allow players to put one speedy cornerback on each side of the field. This will really protect players from allowing big plays.
However, for players that prefer to do fantasy drafts in Franchise mode in Madden 23, this list may be even more beneficial. Players like Denzel Ward (92 OVR) and Donte Jackson (81 OVR) can be drafted as starting cornerbacks. Then, later in the draft, players can get a Kalon Barnes (64 OVR) or Tariq Woolen (66 OVR) to play the slot and return kicks.
As the NFL season progresses along, so will the EA Sports updates to the Madden 23 rosters. Several of these players are extremely young and their speed ratings will likely change due to either injuries or performance. Nonetheless, this list will be greatly beneficial to Madden 23 players currently.
