Pederson secured three of four targets for 27 yards in the Roughnecks' 27-3 win over the Brahmas on Sunday.
ANALYSISPederson tied for a distant second in receptions and targets to
Justin Hall on the afternoon, but the veteran tight end doubled his season-long catch and receiving yardage totals in Sunday's performance. The Louisiana-Monroe product was effective for the USFL's Houston Gamblers back in 2023 with a 24-329 receiving line across 10 games, and although he didn't play at any level of professional football in 2024, Pederson could develop into more of a weapon in the second half of the season given the rapport he demonstrated with new starting QB
Jalan McClendon on Sunday.
