Another day and another player declaring for the NFL draft. On Thursday starting right guard Chasen Hines made it official on social media and he said his goodbyes to the Tigers faithful.
It was expected that Hines, much like his counterpart on the left Ed Ingram, would declare for the NFL draft. Hines already accepted an invitation to the NFLPA’s postseason bowl, so it was a given that he would make it official. Players have until Monday to declare for the 2022 NFL draft.

Hines officially becomes the 11th member of the 2021 football team to announce that he will be going pro. Hines joined LSU as part of the 2018 recruiting class out of Marshall, Texas. He was rated as a four-star defensive tackle out and No. 21 at the position. Hines would play on the interior offensive line for the Tigers. He made the transition during his senior year of high school.
Used in a reserve role, was part of the 2019 CFP national championship team where he filled in as needed. Over the last two seasons, Hines was the starter at right guard. Hines appeared in 35 total games for LSU, including eight this season. He would miss the Arkansas, ULM, and Texas A&M games but return for the Texas Bowl against Kansas State.
