Who did the Saints pick in the 2023 draft?

Former Clemson Tigers player, Bryan Bresee has been drafted by the New Orleans Saints in the 2023 NFL Draft. He was the first defensive tackle taken in the first round of the NFL Draft by New Orleans since Sheldon Rankins was selected in the 2016 Draft.

He was the 29th pick overall from the Denver Broncos in a pre-draft trade and originally belonged to the San Francisco 49ers, but he was finally selected by the Saints.

Bresee is the only player from Clemson to be presently on board with the Saints; becoming the first Saint taken in the first round out of an Atlantic Coast Conference school since the 2016 Rankins.

He is the second player to be picked by the Saints in the NFL Draft, the second former Tiger picked in the first round by the Black and Gold, joining linebacker Stephone Anthony – who was 31st overall in the 2015 NFL Draft.

Bresee began his football career at the Urbana High School in Maryland before getting transferred to Damascus High School in the same city of Maryland.
