Hopkins - 57.0 overall, 72.3 pass block, 51.4 run block, 1 penalty, 1 sack allowed
Williams - 60.9 overall, 61.6 pass block, 54.3 run block, 1 penalty, 2 sacks allowed
Spain - 46.1 overall, 49.4 pass block, 43.3 run block, 0 penalties, 2 sacks allowed
Adeniji - 37.6 overall, 19.9 pass block(!!), 48.9 run block, 0 penalties, 6 sacks allowed(!!)
Prince - 36.9 overall, 31.8 pass block(!), 52.9 run block, 4 penalties(!), 2 sacks allowed
Carman (39 snaps) - 44.9 overall, 4.2 pass block(!!), 69.9 run block, 1 penalty, 0 sacks allowed
Hopkins was the best pass blocker on the team, followed by Williams.
Adeniji and Prince were atrocious.
Carman was terrible in his limited snaps in pass blocking, but did well in the run game.
I figured some were interested in this, as most only ever see the regular season grade posted, and it's usually only the single cumulative grade.
Those grades are all bad including Hopkins. The issue with Hopkins is he is scheduled to be paid 7.1 million this year. For that amount of money you could get Ben Jones who is a much better center and much higher PFF or you could spend a little more (10 million per year) and get a pro bowl center in Ryan Jensen. Why pay over 7 million for a not so good center with a regular season and post season PFF in the 50s when for close to the same amount of money you could upgrade the center position with Jones or Jensen?
