Versatile interior OL with NFL polish and a nasty run-blocking résumé
In the 2022 season at UCLA, Jon Gaines II started all 13 games at right guard and helped power a Bruins rushing attack that averaged 237.2 yards per game, sixth in FBS, while UCLA produced a 1,000-yard rusher for the second straight year. He stood out for versatility, with snaps at guard, center, and tackle, plus a reputation for athletic movement and reliable pass protection; one scouting report noted he allowed only five sacks across his UCLA career. If a team wants an intelligent, flexible lineman who can plug multiple spots, Gaines is a strong fit.
