Where is Justin Medlock?
He was released by the Rams
UCLA is definitely not O-Line-U, is it?
To be fair, possibly the greatest left tackle of all time just retired and is a former Bruin, but there definitely is a dearth of Bruin offensive linemen in the league.
Wow Medlock was a kicking stud, very shocked.
