When Quinn Meinerz heard the Broncos were signing Ben Powers to a lucrative multi-year contract this spring in free agency, he knew immediately he had a new running mate at guard.
Meinerz, on the right side, had plenty of reason to be excited about Denver plugging in Powers on the left side.
But when they actually met during OTAs, Meinerz figured run blocking technique, pass sets and Denver’s best places to grab a big meal could wait.
He had a more pressing question on his mind.
“How do you do that field goal stance?”
Powers, who spent the first four years of his NFL career in Baltimore, was happy to teach.
