Patriots PFF grades: Best, worst players from preseason win vs. Eagles
Here are the best and worst Pro Football Focus grades for the Patriots in their preseason win over the Eagles.
The New England Patriots secured a 24-21 victory over the Philadelphia Eagles in a preseason game on Saturday. Rookie quarterback Behren Morton played a pivotal role, leading the offense 73 yards and connecting on a 37-yard touchdown pass with wide receiver Nick DeGennaro. Edge rusher Quintayvious Hutchins also contributed with a crucial strip sack on Eagles quarterback Cole Payton.
However, the Patriots' performance was marked by sloppiness, with numerous poor tackling, angling, and penalty instances. Head coach Mike Vrabel expressed disappointment with the team's readiness, stating that they might need to prioritize player availability for the upcoming season.
On the offensive side, Morton earned a PFF grade of 89.7, followed by Hassan Haskins with a 82.0, DeGennaro at 79.1, Kyle Williams with a 75.1, and Lorenz Metz at 69.6. On the defensive front, cornerback Kindle Vildor led the charge with a grade of 95.6, while Khalil Jacobs and Amari Gainer followed closely with 89.8 and 88.0, respectively. However, the team's defensive line struggled, with DT Isaiah Iton receiving the lowest grade of 31.3, and DT Jeremiah Pharms Jr. and EDGE Gabe Jacas scoring 38.7 and 39.6, respectively.
