According to an article dated July 22 on WeAreGreenBay.com, “A Wisconsin native is receiving quite the contract extension with the Denver Broncos after signing a four-year, $80,000,00 deal.
After signing the extension, Hartford’s Quinn Meinerz, who played for the University of Wisconsin-Whitewater, will play on Denver’s offensive line through 2028.
A third-round pick in 2021, Meinerz was the 98th overall pick and made an immediate impact for the Broncos. He appeared in 15 games and started nine contests as a rookie before emerging as one of the league’s top guards in 2022…..
Known as a bruiser, Meinerz has gained a reputation as a powerful run blocker and helps his running backs fight for extra yards. In the passing game, according to Pro Football Focus, Meinerz allowed the fourth fewest pressures of any guard with at least 625 snaps in 2023……”
