Bryan Bresee
DT - NO
2023 Outlook
Expert Note
View More NotesClemson's Bryan Bresee can transition smoothly into the front and impose his will after he showed out a year removed from torn ACL injury. His 12% pressure rate and pressures per game ranked inside the top-five among his 2023 DT class, while his quick pressure rate tied for first. Quick pressure rate is the percentage of pass rushes that resulted in a player generating pressure on a QB in 2.5 seconds or less per Sports Info Solutions.
Back in 2020, prior to his injury, Bresee won ACC rookie of the year. In his two fully healthy college seasons, Bresee has been a top-21 PFF-graded interior pass-rusher (including his highest grade in 2022) at 6-foot-5 and 300 pounds.

Fantasy Impact
The Saints went offensive line in 2022, drafting OT Trevor Penning, and went defensive line with Bryan Bresee this year. Thor Nystrom has Bresee as No. 29 overall and DL3 with an NFL player comp of Jerry Tillery on his Top 500 big board. Bresee tore his ACL while at Clemson but gives New Orleans a big-bodied lineman at 6’5.5”, 285 lbs with big 10.28” inch paws to knock back offensive lineman. Additionally, for what it’s worth, Bresee was the top-ranked high school player coming out of high school. Bresee is fast for his size, running a 4.86 40-yard dash and his total NFL Combine score of 77 was the 4th-highest for a defensive tackle. He didn’t play like his pre-ACL tear self at times last season but his size and athleticism should easily translate to the next level.
