Everyone loved Quinn Meinerz’s blocking on ‘Monday Night Football’

Quinn Meinerz Football Broncos Brian Baldinger NFL Denver (Organization)

Quinn Meinerz remains a fan favorite.

The 24-year-old guard played college football at Wisconsin-Whitewater, a Division III program, and his fantastic college film, impressive performance at the Senior Bowl and unique outdoor workout videos caught the attention of NFL teams in 2021.

Denver used a third-round pick to select Meinerz in the NFL draft three years ago and he quickly emerged as a fan favorite after “letting the belly breathe” at practice. Meinerz is much more than a meme, though. He is emerging as one of the best guards in the NFL, and a Pro Bowl nod could be within reach this season.

Twitter gushed with praise for Meinerz after his impressive performance against the Buffalo Bills on Monday Night Football in Week 10.

This is not the first time Meinerz has gone viral for an impressive block in a prime-time spotlight. The guard previously went viral for his relentless blocking against the Kansas City Chiefs on Sunday Night Football in 2021.

Meinerz finished Monday’s game with a 90.1 run-blocking grade from Pro Football Focus. He is Denver’s best interior offensive lineman and a big reason why the Broncos have found success on the ground in recent weeks.
