Saints DT Bryan Breesee supports former teammates at Clemson pro day

[ASFN Admin]

Pro day season is upon us, with many major universities hosting theirs within the past few weeks or next few days, as prospects look to bump their stock up a bit ahead of April's NFL Draft. With that, many New Orleans Saints coaches are heading out to get a good look at the players they are interested in, but recently, one of their players actually made an appearance as well, with Bryan Bresee attending Clemson's pro day.

Offensive tackle prospect Ryan Linthicum noted Bresee's attendance and that he was there to support the fifth-year lineman. He also made it clear how important it was to him to have Bresee there, as it was the birthday of Bresee's sisted Ella, who tragically passed away in 2022.

Ryan Linthicum says Bryan Bresee was here supporting him at Clemson pro day, but it's also the birthday of Bresee's sister, Ella.

"I had a special angel looking over me today. I had a really good day … it got me a little teary-eyed, but it’s a blessing to carry her legacy on."

These are the small but extremely special stories that go unnoticed during the pre-draft cycle, as all focus comes down on which coaches attend where and who performs how at their drills. Bresee taking the time out of his week to go back to Clemson and support another player from his alma mater is admirable and shows just how much he cares for his former school and its prospects.
