Madden players who want to dominate with linebacker play should look towards the NFC in the latest edition of the franchise.

There are nine. The Green Bay Packers have a player named De'Vondre Campbell.

There are ten. White is a player for the Buccaneers.

If Leonard keeps his current trajectory, he could be on his way to the 99 club at one point in his career.

After leading the league with 163 tackles as the defensive rookies of the year, the 26 year old has built a resume that includes three All-Pro and three Pro Bowl selections. He finished the year with 122 tackles, eight passes defended, an NFL-best eight forced turnovers, four intercepts and three fumbled balls.

The opposing offenses will have to plan around Leonard, but they will also have to account for two of Madden's top 10 middle linebackers. David is the leader at 92, but teammate White checks in as an 85 as further proof that the Bolts are more than just the presence of Brady.

If the Buccaneers are going to win the Super Bowl, they'll have to face the league's best inside LB in San Francisco.

Warner is the anchor of a 49ers defense that also features star pass-rusher Nick Bosa and is coming off a season that saw him post 137 tackles, four passes defended and three turnovers.

He earned his position in the newest edition of Madden.
