Who better to talk about the New Orleans Saints’ first-round pick than the man who’s been coaching him for three years? Clemson Tigers head coach Dabo Swinney is a big fan of his former defensive tackle Bryan Bresee, who the Saints selected with the 29th pick in the 2023 NFL draft on Thursday night.
Swinney says Bresee is a star in the making, telling local reporters in South Carolina, “Bryan is a guy that could be a Pro Bowler for years to come. He has that in him. And I’m just excited for the Saints because his best football is in front of him. He’s really gotten himself healthy, but this kid has been through so much. He had a great freshman year, missed his second year, got hurt, tore his ACL, and then he comes back and obviously his sister passing, he missed a lot of time and then he had a kidney issue. When this guy is on the field, everybody in the stadium notices.”
