PFF grades: Best and worst players from Broncos' preseason finale

Following the Denver Broncos’ dominant win over the Arizona Cardinals on Sunday, Pro Football Focus has released grades from the game.

It’s no surprise that quarterback Zach Wilson received the team’s best grade (91.4). Wilson went 16-of-25 passing for 251 yards with two touchdowns and no turners. He also rushed for 22 yards and a third touchdown. Fellow quarterback Jarrett Stidham was given a grade of 67.8.

Elsewhere on offense, center Sam Mustipher (89.9) was the best offensive lineman and Brandon Johnson (86.0) was the best wide receiver. Johnson hauled in a 46-yard touchdown pass from Wilson in the fourth quarter.

Blake Watson (66.3) was the team’s best running back, but Tyler Badie (65.9) and Audric Estime (64.2) were not far behind.

The team’s worst-graded players on offense were wide receiver Phillip Dorsett (42.8), tight end Thomas Yassmin (46.4) and offensive lineman Oliver Jervis (57.9).

On defense, linebacker Levelle Bailey (88.6) was the team’s top-graded defender, a grade that was surely aided by a 94-yard pick-six. Up next on defense were linebacker Justin Strnad (79.8), cornerback Kris Abrams-Draine (77.9) and safety Keidron Smith (74.6).

Denver’s worst-graded defenders were linebacker Andre Smith (29.8), defensive lineman Angelo Blackson (36.1) and linebacker Alec Mock (40.7).

On special teams, Trent Gill (61.6) was given a slight edge over Riley Dixon (61.2) in the punter battle.
