Steelers RB Le'Veon Bell topped the list with 96 overall rating. EA says Bell earned the top spot because of the high ratings on each of his ball carrier moves (i.e. spin, juke, stiff arm). The 26-year-old racked up 1,291 rushing yards for 9 rushing TDs in 2017.
Here's how the rest of the list looked:
