EA Sports has been busy this week dripping out the player ratings for Madden 26. First up, we had the seven members of the 99 Club, of which Pittsburgh Steelers edge defender T.J. Watt failed to make the cut. Next up are the rookies for all 32 NFL teams. For the Steelers, eight rookies found their way to the list, including undrafted free agent kicker Ben Sauls.

The highest-rated Steelers are first-round pick Derrick Harmon, with running back Kaleb Johnson just behind him. It was nice seeing edge defender Jack Sawyer at 72 as he was one of the biggest value picks in the 2025 NFL draft. On the other end, fans of quarterback Will Howard won’t be happy with his 64 overall but it can only go up from here.

Defensive tackle – Derrick Harmon – 77 overall

Running back – Kaleb Johnson – 75 overall

Outside linebacker – Jack Sawyer – 72 overall

Kicker – Ben Sauls – 70 overall

Cornerback – Donte Kent – 68 overall

Defensive tackle – Yahya Black – 67 overall

Linebacker – Carson Bruener – 64 overall

Quarterback – Will Howard – 64 overall
