There are many key stats that determine whether a player is a valuable asset in Madden NFL 26, and this applies to every position. While quarterbacks have more control over their performance—unless you’re simulating games—their stats remain crucial to how well they play.
One stat that’s often misunderstood is speed. Some people rely too heavily on it, while others ignore its importance for quarterbacks. Like everything in the game, speed is an important aspect of a quarterback’s skills. Here are the quarterbacks who utilize it the best.
### Fastest QBs in the League
All the fastest quarterbacks currently on rosters are included. Max Duggan is a free agent; his speed just falls outside this group. He could be a good backup option for some teams, but he doesn’t quite match the top players’ speed.
#### Lamar Jackson
Lamar Jackson is the fastest quarterback in Madden NFL 26 and arguably the best overall. Early in his career, he depended more on his legs than his arm, but recent years have seen his passing game become just as dangerous. His rushing ability remains a major threat, and his arm has become a reliable weapon as well.
| Name | Team | Speed | Overall | Throw Power | Short Accuracy | Medium Accuracy | Deep Accuracy |
|————–|———|——–|———|————–|—————-|—————-|————–|
| Lamar Jackson | Ravens | 96 | 99 | 93 | 97 | 96 | 85 |
Lamar Jackson is the quickest QB and considered the best overall player in Madden NFL 26. His running prowess set him apart early on, but now his passing skills make him equally formidable.
#### Jalen Milroe
Jalen Milroe is one of two quarterbacks named Jalen on this list and is the newest addition to Seattle’s quarterback room. Competing with Drew Lock for the backup spot, Milroe’s main weaknesses are his medium accuracy and poor awareness. Improving these areas could significantly boost his rating.
| Name | Team | Speed | Overall | Throw Power | Short Accuracy | Medium Accuracy | Deep Accuracy |
|————–|———|——–|———|————–|—————-|—————-|————–|
| Jalen Milroe | Seahawks | 93 | 65 | 92 | 76 | 73 | 78 |
Though still developing, Jalen Milroe shows promise. With focused upgrades on his accuracy and awareness, he could become a key player.
#### Justin Fields
Justin Fields leads the Jets’ quarterback group, rated slightly higher overall than veteran Tyrod Taylor. His main area for improvement is awareness, which currently holds him back. His other stats are decent, and he has the potential to carry a team deep into the playoffs.
| Name | Team | Speed | Overall | Throw Power | Short Accuracy | Medium Accuracy | Deep Accuracy |
|—————-|——-|——–|———|————–|—————-|—————-|————–|
| Justin Fields | Jets | 92 | 74 | 91 | 84 | 78 | 80 |
Fields is a promising quarterback with solid stats, and with better awareness, he could become a true dual threat.
#### Kyler Murray
Kyler Murray’s talent is evident, though he hasn’t fully realized it yet. His key weakness is awareness, which limits his effectiveness. Improving this and his overall decision-making could elevate him to a dangerous level in the game.
| Name | Team | Speed | Overall | Throw Power | Short Accuracy | Medium Accuracy | Deep Accuracy |
|————–|————|——–|———|————–|—————-|—————-|————–|
| Kyler Murray | Cardinals | 92 | 79 | 90 | 87 | 80 | 81 |
With better awareness, Murray could become a vastly more threatening quarterback, given his impressive stats across the board.
#### Anthony Richardson
Anthony Richardson possesses a vast arsenal of tools, but his primary obstacle is awareness. His accuracy could also improve over time. Once his awareness reaches around 75-80, he’ll be capable of much more.
| Name | Team | Speed | Overall | Throw Power | Short Accuracy | Medium Accuracy | Deep Accuracy |
|——————|———-|——–|———|————–|—————-|—————-|————–|
| Anthony Richardson | Colts | 91 | 72 | 96 | 83 | 77 | 78 |
He’s a dynamic player with great potential, especially once his awareness and accuracy progress.
#### Malik Willis
Malik Willis is still raw compared to others, currently serving as a backup with Jordan Love. He has clear weaknesses—middling accuracy and poor awareness—but has potential to develop, given his limited experience.
> He’s only been in the league for three years, so with time, Willis might develop into a solid backup who can keep his team competitive if called upon.
| Name | Team | Speed | Overall | Throw Power | Short Accuracy | Medium Accuracy | Deep Accuracy |
|————–|———-|——–|———|————–|—————-|—————-|————–|
| Malik Willis | Packers | 90 | 65 | 93 | 78 | 72 | 75 |
> With more time and experience, he could turn into a reliable backup.
#### Jayden Daniels
Jayden Daniels has shown significant promise, improving as the season has gone on. He could be one of the most exciting young quarterbacks in the league, with solid stats including awareness.
| Name | Team | Speed | Overall | Throw Power | Short Accuracy | Medium Accuracy | Deep Accuracy |
|————–|————|——–|———|————–|—————-|—————-|————–|
| Jayden Daniels | Commanders | 90 | 85 | 92 | 91 | 90 | 83 |
Consistent improvement will help him evolve from an above-average quarterback into an MVP contender.
#### Jalen Hurts
Jalen Hurts is a proven talent with an MVP trophy to prove it. While his arm isn’t as strong as some others, his excellent accuracy and weaponry around him make him highly effective.
| Name | Team | Speed | Overall | Throw Power | Short Accuracy | Medium Accuracy | Deep Accuracy |
|————|——–|——–|———|————–|—————-|—————-|————–|
| Jalen Hurts | Eagles | 89 | 88 | 86 | 92 | 87 | 90 |
He’s a well-rounded quarterback with the leadership and skills to lead any team.
#### Drake Maye
Drake Maye’s progress has been steady, gradually improving in all areas without any spectacular flashes. This consistent development will likely turn him into a reliable starter someday.
| Name | Team | Speed | Overall | Throw Power | Short Accuracy | Medium Accuracy | Deep Accuracy |
|————|———-|——–|———|————–|—————-|—————-|————–|
| Drake Maye | Patriots | 89 | 78 | 94 | 88 | 82 | 81 |
His constant growth across all stats indicates he’s on the right track to becoming a solid quarterback.
