wow. just wow.

you can compare the video on the above link to this real highlight video of Gaines with his official numbers.

makes you wonder if there's an agenda or something ... doesn't it?

here's a recent article on Gaines where he picked off three passes in one game.

Looks like a nice CB to me! Great post Jimmy, and its good to see you on the boards again!

Good find JC! His highlights were awesome and he played against some pretty stiff competition in Georgia.

Yeah Celtic, I agree this kid's a player. Amazing bursts of speed and lateral quickness and he has quite the nose for the ball.
