UCLA offensive lineman Atonio Mafi is sharing his journey to the NFL draft through a weekly diary leading up to the event April 27.

I even got to bond with some Pac-12 rivals, playing alongside Washington’s Jaxson Kirkland and Henry Bainivalu at the East-West Shrine Bowl. The tension of having wanted to beat one another while in college dissolved by the end of the week when we were joking around, having fun in a totally positive way.

I had seen a lot of these guys play on TV before my UCLA games and getting to meet them was awesome. It was a reminder of how big America is, just the differences in music tastes between Ohio and California and stories about growing up in different places and random things we find funny. It’s like, wow, there’s really a lot of different people playing college football and it’s just a cool experience to be a melting pot.
