Besides OVR, three player statistics are paramount for winning teams in EA Sports College Football 27: speed, acceleration, and agility. While sheer speed can be easy to focus on, it must be balanced with both an ability to accelerate quickly as well as be highly agile on the run.
This EA Sports College Football 27 ranking guide is a listing of the top ten quickest players on their feet, for each of the positions of Wide Receiver, Cornerback, Halfback, Free Safety, and Quarterback.
