Bryan Bresee Fantasy Stats

New Orleans Saints rookie defensive tackle Bryan Bresee received snaps with the first-team defensive tackles at times this offseason, and he'll likely continue to be swapped into the rotation throughout the summer at training camp. It's no sure thing he'll be a starter in Week 1, but Bresee will get his fair share of first-team reps in training camp and into the regular season if he stays healthy. The 21-year-old has been taking advice from veteran defensive end Cameron Jordan. "He's probably a little more sudden, a little more quick than maybe I anticipated," head coach Dennis Allen said. "The things I've been most pleased with is really his intelligence level and his work ethic. He's worked extremely hard throughout this offseason, and I'm looking for him to be a key contributor for us."

The New Orleans Saints selected University of Clemson defensive tackle Bryan Bresee with the No. 29 overall pick in the 2023 NFL draft on Thursday night. Bresee is not a small human by any means. He stands at 6-foot-5, 298 pounds and will give New Orleans a monstrous presence on the interior of their defensive line moving forward. Bresee excels by using his length to his advantage to keep offensive line blockers away from him. The 21-year-old isn't quick enough to play off the edge, but he'll have plenty of speed up the middle. Bresee should be an immediate starter for the Saints as more of a run defender who can control the gaps inside. The Saints will be hoping he can reach his ceiling if he can also become a pocket-pushing pass-rusher.
