It only took three practice sessions for the New Orleans Saints to give Bryan Bresee a look in the starting lineup. The 2023 first-round pick ran with the first-string defense on Friday in front of fans, and the athletic traits His teammates like defensive end Payton Turner are already noticing what he brings to the table.

“Dude’s quick, dude’s quick,” Turner grinned after Friday’s training camp practice. “He’s a good size too so he’s not some small three tech, he’s got pretty good size. Young. In the run game I think everybody needs to work coming into this league, just in the technique and being more precise, but he’s disruptive and I’m excited to see him in pads too.”

Bresee was part of the Saints’ complete rebuild at defensive tackle this summer; having spent their top pick in the 2024 draft on him, the team also invested heavy resources in free agency on veterans Nathan Shepherd and Khalen Saunders. Coaches are rotating players throughout the lineup early and often this summer, so we’ll see if he holds onto a spot at the top of the depth chart, but it’s encouraging to see Bresee making plays and earning better opportunities so soon.


Sounds encouraging. If he stays healthy he could be a great addition. Very physically talented.

frick yeah. We need him to be a dude this season. Would really help us out in the interior. Wouldn’t mind seeing us add someone else too eventually. I was never a believer in Shepherd or Saunders as starters but love them as rotational guys

i had hoped that they were brought in more as depth and not as starters. I read an interview of one of Bresee's coaches in College that said if he could stay healthy long enough to develop that the sky was the limit for him. You take those kind of statements with a grain of salt particularly from ex-coaches but it is encouraging.

I mean this is the case for him though. He has all the talent and ability in the world.

Sounds like this kid will surprise as a day 1 starter because of that great athleticism that he has, he is a freak for someone that size to be so cat quick. So, either Saunders or Shepherd will be coming off the bench which isn't a bad thing because you have an experienced Dtackle coming in that was supposed to start.

All of this sounds good but lets pump the brakes a bit they haven't even put pads on yet.

You don’t need pads to see athleticism and talent.
