The full breakdown
Bergeron earned a solid 72.2 overall grade largely on the back of his impactful run blocking (74 grade), shining especially on perimeter concepts and combo blocks. He created huge lanes as a puller, highlighted by a dominant block on the linebacker at Q1 3:06 that sparked a 55-yard gain and a powerful goal-line downblock for a touchdown at Q4 3:35. In pass protection (68 grade), he was completely clean without conceding a single negative rep, consistently anchoring against interior defensive tackles. However, a couple of breakdown reps where he lost leverage (Q3 7:13) or was late climbing to the second level (Q4 12:31) kept his grade from reaching the high 70s.
Strengths
Pulling on outside runs
Stout interior pass anchor
