Elite Pass-Blocking Sophomore OL with PFF Top Ratings Despite Ankle Injury
John Mills, a 6'6", 320-lb sophomore offensive lineman for the Washington Huskies, stands out as the nation's top freshman interior OL in pass blocking during the 2025 season, earning the highest Pro Football Focus (PFF) ratings for both pass blocking (80.2) and overall offensive performance among first-year linemen [1]. Despite a midseason ankle sprain that limited his snap count, he logged 589 total snaps—just 177 behind Georgia's Dontrell Glover for the most among freshman interior OLs—and showcased versatility by playing 445 snaps at left guard, 142 at right tackle, and one as an inline tight end [1]. His intensity, adaptability, and elite technique make him a high-upside fit for any team needing a reliable, game-ready guard or tackle with proven NFL-caliber pass protection skills [1][2].
