The full breakdown

Branch earned a 68.9 grade by stacking positive, mistake-free contributions across limited volume on offense and special teams. His special teams play (70 grade) drove his highest marks, highlighted by a lead-block seal on the opening kickoff (Q1 15:00) and an 18-yard punt return from his own 1-yard line (Q2 15:00). On offense, he showed quick acceleration on a 7-yard flat completion (Q2 14:48) and drew an illegal contact penalty on a vertical route (Q3 08:42). With 13 neutral snaps and an unexceptional run-blocking mark (60 grade) across 18 total reps, his overall score remained just shy of the solid tier.
