PFF grades: Jaguars best and worst performers from first preseason game
Following the Jaguars' first preseason game against the Saints, these players received the highest and lowest PFF grades.
The Jacksonville Jaguars showcased their offensive and defensive prowess during their Week 1 preseason game against the New Orleans Saints, as evaluated by Pro Football Focus (PFF). The Jaguars' top five performers in offense included wide receiver Chandler Brayboy with an 89.3 grade, followed by Emmanuel Pregnon (74.0), Trebor Pena (68.9), DeeJay Dalls (68.0), and Brady Boyd (67.9).
These players collectively contributed to 102 receiving yards, with Brayboy and Pena each securing notable gains. Pregnon's run-blocking grade of 70.0 added to his positive performance. On the defensive side, S Cam Ron Silmon-Craig, LB Amari Burney, DE Danny Striggow, LB Branson Combs, and DT Ruke Orhorhoro rounded out the top five, collectively registering five tackles, four pressures, and two sacks.
Their performance was bolstered by Combs' exceptional coverage grade of 87.8, which significantly improved his overall grade. Conversely, the Jaguars' five lowest-graded players were CB Corey Ballentine (29.7), C Jerome Carvin (34.0), CB Christian Braswell (37.4), OT Jimto Obidegwu (44.0), and DT Keivie Rose (44.6). Ballentine struggled in coverage, allowing four receptions on six targets for 80 yards, while Braswell surrendered four completions on five targets for 37 yards.
Rose's lackluster performance, capped by just one tackle and no quarterback pressures, further contributed to his low grade. Obidegwu permitted one pressure over 16 pass-blocking snaps, and Carvin allowed one pressure on 11 pass-blocking snaps. Despite these individual performances, the overall team showcased strong offensive and defensive capabilities.
