  • G Quinn Meinerz
    UW-Whitewater’s Quinn Meinerz hopes to become latest D3 success story in NFL By Matt Reynoldson WFRV April 28, 2021 If you play DIII college sports, you truly love the game. And it’s easy to see just how much football is in the heart of Quinn Meinerz. The former UW-Whitewater offensive lineman has been training for a career in the NFL, and can’t wait for the college draft begin on Thursday night. “It’s unbelievable. I mean like you said, we all have the dream but when you go Division III, kind of the reality sets in a little bit that when you get to your junior and senior year, that there’s not really an opportunity,” said Meinerz. “But it’s cool that I’ve been able to have this opportunity and take Warhawk football, Division III and Wisconsin athletes, and carry all those things on my shoulder and hopefully I can carry it to the NFL. Not too long ago it was ‘Am I going to get drafted?’ Now it’s just kind of a matter of when.” Meinerz doesn’t lack confidence, but he also isn’t cocky and his performance at the Senior Bowl against D1 competition gave him confidence in knowing he belongs. “After like the first couple snaps, when I was finally going against the live competition, I’m not sure whether it was one on one or stuff like that, but I realized really quickly that ‘hey I can really handle myself,’ said Meinerz. “I was going to practice like I was going to be fighting for my life every play, but I’m not fighting for my life, I’m handling and sometimes dominating my opponent, so it was really a big confidence booster early on day one.” Meinerz put together a video montage of him working out in a remote part of Canada where his family owns a fishery, and put it online to help market himself.
