GREEN BAY, WI (WSAU) – Pro Football Focus has released their grades from this weekend’s preseason games, including the grades for the Green Bay Packers.
The way the scale works is that each player is given a grade of -2 to +2 in 0.5 increments on any given play, with 0 generally being the average or “expected” grade.
According to PFF, pass rusher Kingsley Enagbare scored the team’s highest overall grade of 96.4 (Elite). Enagbare had two pressures (both sacks) on just eight pass-rushing snaps; he also forced a fumble that became a key turnover that helped the Packers get back into the game.
Rising star wide receiver Romeo Doubs scored a 91.0 (Elite) after catching two passes for 52 yards on just nine routes, and both catches, including his 42-yarder, were considered contested catches. Doubs was the Packers highest-graded offensive player. Meanwhile, Jordan Love was not far behind, scoring an 86.0 (high quality) during Saturday night’s game. Love finished the game 5-8 for 83 yards, 1 TD, and a QB rating of 137.0.

After the game, head coach Matt LaFleur stated that Love will play again this weekend against the Seattle Seahawks.
Other notable grades included Jon Runyan Jr. scoring an 87.0 after he didn’t give up any pressures. Rookie defensive lineman Karl Brooks was also impressive with a score of 80.4; he delivered two pressures, one of which led to a tackle for loss. Fellow rookie Sean Clifford played well yet again, scoring an 81.8 after putting together nine passing first downs and a completion percentage over 70%.
The Packers lowest-graded players included right tackle Zach Tom (39.2), LB Tariq Carpenter (25.1), OLB Arron Mosby (28.7), and LG Elgton Jenkins (44.8).
