The rewards for the Madden NFL 26 Season 2 Pass are quite impressive. In addition to Madden NFL 26 coins and card packs, the upgrade to an 88 OVR free player is worth tens of thousands of coins.

Cam Ward | 88 OVR QT

• SPD: 81
• THP: 93
• SAC: 91
• MAC: 89
• DAC: 86
• TUP: 88
• RUN: 89
• PAC: 89

Cam Ward's stats are very solid, with 93 Throwing Power, 91 Short Passing, 89 Medium Passing, and 86 Long Passing. His weakness may be his slowness. Even if you don't upgrade to 88 OVR, it's easy to increase Throwing Power to above 90 with chemistry bonuses.

Overall, he's one of the most versatile quarterbacks, particularly suitable for free-to-play players or those with weaker lineups.

Jonathan Allen | 88 OVR DT

• SPD: 70
• ACC: 73
• STR: 92
• TAK: 92
• PRC: 87
• BSH: 85
• PMV: 91
• FMV: 84

Jonathan Allen is a very solid and powerful interior defender. While he lacks speed, his excellent attributes, such as 92 Strength, 92 Tackle, 84 Pass-rush Avoidance, and 91 Pass-rush Power, are more than enough to handle most interior defensive duties.

Armand Membou | 88 OVR RT

• STR: 90
• AWF: 81
• PBK: 91
• PBP: 91
• PBF: 92
• RBK: 88
• RBP: 89
• RBF: 90

Armand Membou is undoubtedly one of the top picks, primarily because right tackles are very scarce among free agents right now, with most being left tackles. Furthermore, his 90 strength, 91 pass blocking, and 88 run blocking are excellent attributes for a right tackle. If you upgrade him to 88 OVR, you won't need to use Madden 26 coins for right tackles for a long time.

Dre Greenlaw | 88 OVR WILL

• SPD: 85
• ACC: 87
• STR: 70
• TAK: 90
• PRC: 88
• BSH: 84
• ZCV: 91
• MCV: 87

Dre Greenlaw is perhaps one of the best Coverage style linebackers in the entire game. His 85 speed, 87 acceleration, 90 tackling, 87 man coverage, and 91 zone coverage make him a very well-rounded player, making him a strong contender for a priority upgrade. If you just need a free left tackle, then Dre Greenlaw might be your first choice.

Carlton Davis III | 88 OVR CB

• SPD: 88
• ACC: 88
• AGI: 79
• JMP: 80
• PRC: 89
• MCV: 90
• ZCV: 91
• PRS: 93

Carlton Davis III has excellent attributes and is a valuable addition to the cornerback position. He also looks very good on a themed team. On any 50/50 theme team, he'll be enhanced to a 90-speed defensive back. The only problem is that when you fully upgrade Carlton Davis, his 88 Speed ​​might behind other top defensive backs, but he's still a top-tier option.

Based on the above, the top recommended players are Armand Membou, Dre Greenlaw, and Carlton Davis III. If you don't want to waste NFL 26 coins on an interior defender, you can also upgrade Jonathan Allen, but he's not an excellent option compared to other players.

Season 2 Events

Besides the pass, Season 2 will feature several new events that will unlock powerful players for your Ultimate Team:

• Unstoppable: Starting September 18th, players can obtain and upgrade an 88 overall player for free, including Josh Jacobs, DK Metcalf, Justin Reid, and more.
• Unreal Moments: Starting October 2nd, a brand-new promotion featuring player cards based on highlights from NFL history.
• Most Feared: Starting October 16th, the grand finale of Season 2, this Halloween-themed promotion is a favorite for many players.

That's a rough outline of what's available for Season 2. These free players are all excellent, and we hope you'll find the players you're looking for to strengthen your team.
