Denver Broncos: Quinn Meinerz, Broncos’ Secret Superstar on Offensive Line
Pro Football Focus (PFF) has named Quinn Meinerz, the Denver Broncos guard, as the team's most underrated player. Meinerz may not be as underrated within the Denver fan base, as he is already recognized as a key asset in the offensive line. His exceptional performance, especially in run-blocking, garnered him an impressive overall grade, making him an essential player for Sean Payton's scheme.
By the Numbers- Fifth overall in offensive linemen grades with an 83.7 rating.
- Third among guards with an interior run-blocking grade of 88.3.
- 41.2% impact block rate on pull blocks, ranked first among interior linemen.
Quinn Meinerz is highly regarded among Broncos fans and was already highlighted as a 'secret superstar' by PFF in January, indicating his recognition extends beyond being underrated.
State of Play- Meinerz's performance aligns well with Sean Payton's run-heavy offensive strategy.
- The Broncos' offensive line looks promising, despite the adjustment needed after Lloyd Cushenberry's departure.
The upcoming season will reveal how effectively the Broncos’ revamped offensive line, with Meinerz at the forefront, can perform under Sean Payton’s system and fill any remaining gaps.
Bottom LineWhile Meinerz might not be underrated in Denver, his outstanding run-blocking skills and overall performance make him a crucial component of the Broncos' offensive line and their future success.
