Where does new Jacksonville Jaguars' center Robert Hainsey rank among position group? Where does new Jacksonville Jaguars' center Robert Hainsey rank among his position group heading into the 2025 NFL season? Where does new Jacksonville Jaguars' center Robert Hainsey rank among his position group heading into the 2025 NFL season? Pro Football Focus has been putting together its ranking of the top 32 players at each position group. At the guard spot, Mason Cameron had Hainsey at No. 23 on his list. "While we haven't seen much of Hainsey over the past year, he did show flashes on a small sample size, posting a 73.3 PFF overall grade," wrote Cameron. "That should be a positive step toward a return to form in Jacksonville." With the addition of Graham Barton by the Buccaneers in last year's NFL draft, Hainsey played just 94 snaps in 2024 coming off the bench. However, as GM James Gladstone described following the addition of Hainsey in free agency, there were two things about his game that stood out and made him a player that the Jaguars had to sign. One facet is that he knows Liam Coen's offense after the two worked together while in Tampa Bay last season. As Gladstone put it, Hainsey's familiarity with the system "takes some weight off the shoulders" of Trevor Lawrence at the line of scrimmage. The other part of Hainsey's game that grabbed Gladstone's attention was his play style. "The whistle blows and he's playing through it, and that's something that we really, really value," Gladstone said. The Jaguars signed Hainsey to a three-year, $21 million deal with $13 million guaranteed.

Former Notre Dame center Robert Hainsey builds his ultimate Irish offensive line. Former Notre Dame football offensive lineman Robert Hainsey has carved out a solid career with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, but has since joined the Jacksonville Jaguars. The center was recently asked to build his ultimate Notre Dame offensive line, as he decided to pick players who played at the specific positions for the Irish. Hainsey picked Zack Martin at right tackle, Quenton Nelson at left guard, Nick Martin at center, Mike McGlinchey at right guard and Joe Alt at left tackle. He started by saying that it was the best question that he's ever been asked, and then following him naming his squad, Hainsey mentioned that he omitted multiple impressive players. It's an impressive list, one that is hard to argue is one of the best. What is your top five former Irish offensive lineman? Does your list match up with Hainsey's?
