Back to EpisodesFirst PFF Grades of 2026: Winners, Losers & Key Takeaways
Description
The first official PFF grades of the Packers' preseason are in, and the reactions have already been extreme. From Kyle McCord looking like a legitimate backup option under constant pressure to Jordan Morgan dominating at left tackle and a group of young defenders stepping up, this episode digs into every number that matters—and separates the real signals from the noise.
- Special teams standouts and the surprising bottom-of-the-roster grades that could decide roster spots
- Offense: McCord's elite passing grade, Morgan's dual-threat blocking, Belton's continued struggles, and why Kyron Drones' low grade doesn't tell the full story
- Defense: Jonathan Ford, Lucas Van Ness, Chris McClellan, Brandon Cisse, Warren Brinson and Colin Oliver all grading well while coverage and a few veterans lag behind
- The bigger picture: one data point, plenty of reason for measured optimism about the depth pieces
