Gaines ideally fits a defensive scheme that prioritizes a disruptive nose tackle capable of anchoring against the run and demanding double teams, utilizing a one-gap 4-3 penetrating front.
Year 1 rotational run defender on early downs, with the ceiling to become a starting two-down nose tackle.
Any scheme that asks him to regularly play defensive end or outside linebacker, exposing his limited athleticism in space.
Gaines's short stature but powerful frame makes him an excellent fit for schemes looking for an interior presence to clog running lanes and penetrate.
Relative Athletic Score (Kent Lee Platte) benchmarks combine/pro-day numbers against every measured prospect at the position since 1987. 10.00 is elite; 5.00 is average.
