The New Orleans Saints have officially signed No. 29 overall pick DT Bryan Bresee to a rookie contract, according to Aaron Wilson.
This leaves just two unsigned draft picks for the Saints:
Rd | Pick | Player | Pos. | Note |
1 | 29 | Bryan Bresee | DT | Signed |
2 | 40 | Isaiah Foskey | DE | |
3 | 71 | Kendre Miller | RB | Signed |
4 | 103 | Nick Saldiveri | OT | Signed |
4 | 127 | Jake Haener | QB | |
5 | 146 | Jordan Howden | S | Signed |
6 | 195 | A.T. Perry | WR | Signed |
Bresee, 21, was one of the nation’s top high school recruits and started three years at Clemson. He was a freshman All-American and first-team All-ACC in 2020, and still made second and third-team all-conference despite battling injuries in 2021 and 2022.
NFL Media’s Lance Zierlein compares him to Colts DT Grover Stewart.
The No. 29 overall pick is projected to sign a four-year, $13,403,202 contract that includes a $6,747,783 signing bonus and will carry a $2,436,946 cap figure for the 2023 season.
During his three-year college career, Bresee recorded 51 total tackles, 15 tackles for loss, nine sacks, one forced fumble and four pass deflections in 25 career games.
