Early read

Most of his numbers are still mostly luck; 50 is average

Grades updated Rechecked every few hours on game days

What we can and cannot say about a lineman. No public data credits one lineman with a block won or lost. This page shows what does exist: how often he is flagged compared with the other linemen, how much he plays, and how his whole line does in the games he starts. The line's numbers are shared by the five who start together, so they describe the unit more than the man.

01 / 11

The read

Braxton has played 3 games for 144 offensive snaps, 2 games started and 1 penalties, but every advanced number is still mostly luck at this point, so his grade of 49 is a placeholder rather than a verdict.

  • Season rank holding near the 44th percentile since Wk 1.
  • Not playing lately: He played in 3 of his team's first 3 games, then did not play in the last 2 games.
  • Too early to call: sacks allowed by his line. After 5 games the gaps between offensive linemen on that stat are still mostly chance, so we show it without ranking.

Written from his numbers, not from film. 3 games are behind the season figures.

His team

A player is part of a unit. Here is how the Chicago Bears do at his job, and who he shares the room with.

Braxton is the Bears' 6th-best offensive lineman by grade (of 6), and the Bears' offensive line ranks 3rd of 32.

  • Sacks allowed by his linewhole line's number7.8%mostly luck so far

Left is the worst at his job, right is the best, and the line down the middle is average. The bubble is his percentile: 90 means better than nine in ten qualifying offensive linemen. Faded bars are still small samples. Outlined bars are stats where, this early, the gaps between players are mostly luck, so they are not ranked yet.

Season rank holding near the 52nd percentile since Wk 1.

The line is his season-to-date rank among players at his position after each week, from 99 (the best in the league) down to 1 (the worst). It rises when he passes other players, not when he has one big game. Early weeks are noisier because fewer plays are behind them. The shaded weeks are the recent stretch.

The numbers, in context

Each one against every offensive lineman with at least 150 snaps. Right on the strip is better.

Line run success

Typical

40%

84th of 162 offensive linemen · bottom 49%

This is his whole line's number: every lineman who starts beside him shares it, so it says how the unit is doing more than how he is.

How often the team's designed runs gain enough to keep the offense on schedule, in the games he started. It is the line, the backs and the scheme together, and the five linemen who start together share it.

The box score: Team rushing yards ignore the down and the distance.

Does it show up in winning? Across 524 games league-wide, teams won 68% of the time when their offensive lineman was in the best third on line run success, and 49% when he was in the worst third.

Small sample: could move a lot · 58 runs · true level likely 29% to 50%

Sacks allowed by his line

Mostly luck so far

7.8%lower is better

Too early to rank. On 77 dropbacks, luck still decides who is on top of offensive linemen.

This is his whole line's number: every lineman who starts beside him shares it, so it says how the unit is doing more than how he is.

Sacks as a share of the team's dropbacks in the games he started. It is the line and the quarterback together, and every lineman who starts beside him shares it. Fewer is better.

The box score: No sack is charged to a single lineman in the box score.

Does it show up in winning? Across 576 games league-wide, teams won 49% of the time when their offensive lineman was in the best third on sacks allowed by his line, and 30% when he was in the worst third.

How he plays

Tendencies: how his game differs from the offensive linemen around him. These are not better or worse, only different, and often say as much about the offense or defense he plays in as about him.

Share of snaps when he plays

Style

65%

Rotates in and out. His number is lower than most offensive linemen'. The typical offensive lineman is at 99% (nearly all).

The share of the offense's snaps he is on the field for in the games he plays. It says whether he is a full-time starter or a part of a rotation.

Pay against play

Early read

Among the 161 offensive linemen we have a grade and a contract for, Braxton Jones is 99th on the field and 85th in pay. His grade is still an early read, so this says nothing yet about whether his pay is fair.

On the field (overall grade)99 of 161
In pay85 of 161

Ranks are among the 161 offensive linemen on the teams we track who have both a grade and a contract. A rank near the right of a bar is better play or higher pay.

Contract figures as of 2026-10-12, read from public cap sites (StickToTheModel team cap pages and OverTheCap contracts list and player pages) into a file we keep by hand, for all 32 teams. A deal signed, cut or reworked since may differ, and cap hits are rounded to $0.1M.

09 / 11

Playing time

He has played in 3 of his team's 5 games with snap counts, on the field for about 65% of the team's offensive plays when he plays.

Not playing lately. He played in 3 of his team's first 3 games, then did not play in the last 2 games.

Each column is a game: the share of his team's offensive snaps he played. 80% means about 8 of every 10 plays. “Out” means he did not play; a question mark means snap counts are not posted yet. Shaded games are the recent stretch.

Game by game

Every game this season: how it ended for his team, how much he played, his box score, and the advanced numbers from that one game. One game is a small sample, so read the right-hand columns as a snapshot, not his level. A dash means that number is not in yet (charting posts a day or two after a game), not a zero.
