The Philadelphia Eagles need to find reinforcements to play in the trenches ASAP. Whether that be along the defensive line or finding depth and future prospects to clear running lanes or protecting the signal-caller on offense, Philly has its hands full with rebuilding this roster.
While what’s going on at the quarterback position has dominated the headlines, in the City of Brotherly Love, it won’t matter who starts if the offensive line doesn’t get fixed. Both guard spots need to be figured out and Philly might need a new center.
Brandon Brooks should be back in 2021, but the left guard position could be an issue. Jason Kelce flirts with retirement every year, so again, it could be time to find his replacement.
With that being said we at ITI scoured the 2021 NFL Draft’s list of prospects and found an under-the-radar guy who could be a huge acquisition for someone. Fresh off of his amazing week at the Reese’s Senior Bowl, Quinn Meinerz has the personality to be a star and the physical attributes to be an NFL powerhouse.
Okay Philadelphia Eagles fans, here’s the skinny.
This University of Wisconsin-Whitewater offensive lineman would be the perfect prospect for the Philadelphia Eagles. The six-foot-three, 320-pound rising star is a monster of a man blessed with the athletic ability and versatility to be used in a multitude of ways.
Capable of playing both guard and the center position, Meinerz could be a nice find for the Philadelphia Eagles in the 2021 NFL Draft. Blessed with a thick base to help him road grade defenders in the run game and the unique athleticism to get out in front and block in space, much like Eagles great Jason Kelce, Meinerz possesses the skillset and football intelligence to be a true leader on the offense.
Here’s one take that should interest Philadelphia Eagles fans.
We at ITI reached out to a scouting source to get his take on the Wisconsin-Whitewater Warhawk. While he did not want to be named this is what he had to say:
"This kid Quinn Meinerz is a rockstar man. He really is. watching him at the Senior Bowl, you see the personality. He never seemed bothered by the competition put in front of him, which is even more impressive knowing he hasn’t played a game in a year. He has a great base and a violent punch at the point of contact, good hand placement, and (he) just pushes defenders out of his way. He’s a really athletic and a guy that can be a starting guard or center in the NFL."
Moving forward, our source tells fans how Meinerz fits the Philadelphia Eagles.
"I feel like you (could) put him on that line and you have a starting guard or future center in Philadelphia. Coach (Jeff) Stoutland would really mold this guy into something else. I really believe that about him. I think he can be a great get for any NFL team really."
The Philadelphia Eagles need to find talent to help the offensive line and Wisconsin-Whitewater’s Quinn Meinerz would be a great start.
With his great combination of size, athletic ability, and football IQ, Meinerz could be a guy that helps lead the Philly offense back to dominance. He may have played at a ‘smaller school’ but the former Warhawk is a big-time prospect with big-time potential.
