New Orleans Saints defensive tackle Bryan Bresee named NFC Special Teams Player of the Week

The National Football League announced today that New Orleans Saints defensive tackle Bryan Bresee has been named the Week 14 NFC Special Teams Player of the Week. It is the first conference player of the week honor for Bresee.

Bresee, 6-5, 305, was the team’s first round selection (29th overall) in the 2023 NFL Draft out of Clemson. He earned the special teams honor after blocking a 35-yard field goal attempt by New York Giants kicker Graham Gano with 11 seconds remaining to preserve Sunday’s 14-11 win at MetLife Stadium. In addition to his heroics on special teams, Bresee enjoyed a productive afternoon on defense, recording one sack and two pass breakups, which tied a career-high.
