Madden NFL 24 is releasing soon, so the developers at EA Sports have begun to reveal some player ratings. The New Orleans Saints did not have a large number of highly-rated players last season, but they’ve already shown to have at least one player ranked near the top of their position.

Tyrann Mathieu has been revealed as the fifth-ranked safety in the game, tied with Jessie Bates as a 91 overall rating. This is actually a bit of a drop for Mathieu, who started last season as the top-rated safety at a 94 overall, but the game is still showing the 31-year-old safety some respect.

Mathieu comes in with a higher rating than former Saints safeties Marcus Williams and C.J. Gardner-Johnson. Williams was the 11th-best safety with an 88 overall rating with Gardner-Johnson falling down to the 20th spot with an 84 rating.

The New Orleans veteran and native is also the highest-rated safety in the division, with the next-best being Antoine Winfield at 15th with an 87 overall. Mathieu’s tag-team partner Marcus Maye did not find himself in the top-20 which was revealed on Monday morning.
