We can’t jump to conclusions about rookies based solely on their preseason performances, but we can assign grades based on their overall showings during the summer. This piece reflects the cumulative grades for each player after all preseason games, not just the last one.
1. QB Cameron Ward
Grade: B
Ward completed 10 of 19 passes for 145 yards without a touchdown. Although his performance against the Falcons was poor numerically, he demonstrated promise.
2. WR/CB Travis Hunter
Grade: C+
In just 17 snaps this preseason, Hunter recorded two catches for nine yards, alongside one missed tackle.
3. EDGE Abdul Carter
Grade: B+
Carter had limited snaps but impressed, especially against the Bills where he registered multiple pressures.
4. OT Will Campbell
Grade: A
Campbell showed exceptional skill in pass protection, allowing no disruptions throughout the preseason.
5. DT Mason Graham
Grade: C+
Graham struggled to push the interior line but did well against the run.
6. RB Ashton Jeanty
Grade: B-
Despite not always having clear paths to run, Jeanty showed signs of power when he did.
And there’s much more detailing each player’s respective grades and assessments throughout the preseason.
