Every Team's Highest-Graded Player from the 2026 Preseason

The Patriots traded away Kayshon Boutte last week, and second-year receiver Kyle Williams promptly reminded them they still have a young WR to build around — averaging 4.37 yards per route run and 27.7 per catch with three touchdowns in August.

Every roster has a story like it this preseason, from undrafted rookies stealing jobs to draft picks flashing the leap their team needed. Across 49 games and three weeks of tape, we've got the highest-graded player on all 32 teams from the 2026 NFL preseason.

Now he's ending his retirement to line up next to Myles Garrett — a seven-time 90.0-plus pass-rusher who led the NFL with 25 sacks last year. The Rams didn't just push their chips in for 2026, they have now assembled an all-time pass-rushing tandem that will now have to force offenses to account for greatness from every angle.
