Welcome in to the first grade release show of the 2025 NFL season here on the PFF NFL show,

Max Chadwick, alongside Dalton Wasserman here, breaking down every single game from the first week of preseason. It's kind of a of a half grade release shows off the full breaking down every game, why every team lost the game or won the game more. Biggest takeaways from some of the rookies we saw and some of the biggest storylines from the 16 preseason games we saw. Absolutely. And there's no shortage of them, right? And obviously some people are going to overreact to some things on the good side, some on the bad side, having to remember, you know, I feel like the phrase, it's just preseason gets used even a little too often this time of year. But certainly no shortage of storylines. I think we've got some good quarterback battles. We had a lot of rookies that played well. And I think a lot of stories that are going to continue throughout this preseason and into week one of the regular season.

Definitely. I want to remind you guys all these grades are available to you guys in the PFF plus subscription right now.

I subscribe to pff.com. If you want to follow along for all 16 of these games,

let's dive right in with the first game. The Indianapolis Colts against the Baltimore Ravens.

The Ravens winning that one 24 to 16.

Let's go over the highest graded players starting off with the Indianapolis Colts.

Their highest grade player was their safety.

Alex Johnson with a 94.9 grade.

Next up was linebacker Joe Botchy at 94.7.

Josh Sills, the guard, 86.2. Isaiah Land,

the edge rusher, also in 86.2. And how about that guy right there? The first round pick for

the Colts, Tyler Warren, with a 78.4 grade in his first game in the NFL. Let's go over to

the Ravens with their highest grade of players. Their highest

grade player was Andrew Voorhees. He's probably going to be taking over at one of the starting

guard spots with Baltimore this year, 92.3. Jay Higgins, the rookie linebacker, 88.1. Chandler

Martin, another linebacker, 86.7, and another linebacker in Trenton Simpson at 85, and then your guy,

darling, rookie receiver, La Jante West, your former FAU, great, then Colorado, 83.9 right there.

What stands out to you, though, from this first piece of the game?

We've got to talk about probably the biggest story, which is Anthony Richardson against Daniel

Jones for that starting quarterback job in Indianapolis.

Yeah, and Richardson getting hurt taking a sack dislocating his pinky only got to throw three
