Would love to see both Ruffins and Vatikani play their way on to NFL rosters this season! If we have a dominant interior OL, life will be much easier for our running backs, our QB, and talented but still young tackles.

Edit: didn't realize Ruffins was still just a junior and we have him for another season if he wants to stay. That's great for oline stability!
