Season so far
It is still very early in the 2026 season for Will McDonald IV, who has only logged 29 snaps in a single contest. Playing at near replacement level with a 65.1 overall grade against Detroit, his outing was largely quiet with 25 neutral-graded snaps. He posted his best work in run defense, earning a 67.5 facet grade highlighted by fighting across a block to string out a short gain. He also showed flashes as a pass rusher in the first quarter by collapsing the pocket on sacks. However, a third-quarter containment breakdown on a bootleg capped his pass-rush grade at 62.3 and kept his overall grade near baseline.
