Madden NFL 22 Safeties Tier List (November 2024)

As the last line of defense, the safety is arguably the most important and versatile position in Madden NFL 22. Lined up deep down the field, safeties must ensure that no offensive player runs or catches a ball within their vicinity on route to a touchdown.

To be a successful safety in the NFL, you need to be strong, quick and fearless. As they must not only be able to cover receivers, but bring down big-bodied running backs as well. So, to help you find the match for your team, we’ve created a Madden NFL 22 tier list ranking all of the best safeties in the game.
