NFL.com grades for Clemson rookies preseason week

NFL.com graded some rookies from Week 2 of the NFL preseason, which included grades for a couple Tiger pros.

LA Rams tight end Davis Allen earned a A- with his big performance versus Las Vegas:

"After missing time with a hamstring injury, Allen made his preseason debut in the Rams’ 34-17 loss to the Raiders on Saturday night. Coaches played him for nearly the entire game. The fifth-round pick blocked well, sealing the edge, climbing to the second level on run plays and moving his feet to sustain in pass protection. He missed a couple of blocks in space on the Rams' touchdown drive late in the third quarter, however. As a receiver, he lined up all over the field and snared a high pass down the seam in the second quarter. Allen was a nice safety valve and proved tough to tackle in the flat and over the middle. Allen led the team with eight catches for 53 yards. A false start penalty midway through the fourth quarter was one of his few mistakes."

Bryan Bresee notched a 'B' with his game for New Orleans versus the LA Chargers, where he had a fumble recovery:

"New Orleans picked Bresee 29th overall in April as part of their interior defensive line rebuild. The rookie struggled to get off blocks but held his ground in the run game early in the team's 22-17 win over the Chargers. Bresee's game picked up against reserve linemen. He penetrated with slants and won with strong hands on initial contact. His athleticism was on display when dropping into a short zone on a blitz on the first play of the second quarter. Bresee recovered Chargers quarterback Easton Stick’s fumble a couple of plays later, stunting across the line to get outside the left tackle and jump on the ball. Late in the second quarter, his penetration forced Stick out of the pocket, where he was intercepted. Bresee knocked down a Stick pass at the line on the next series as he pushed his man into the pocket and kept his eyes on the quarterback."

Neither grade surprised me. Allen has busted it to prove himself. We underutilized him imo. Now, that wasn't on him. Scheme and QB's did. Again, jmho.

Bresee getting a B against backup oline is disappointing. Probably is with them as well. He struggled against good comp here too. Can't fault him for getting the 1st round dollars but he should have come back. He dealt with a lot here.
