STRENGTHS
Quinn has excellent overall athletic talent for a person who is 6’ 4” 320 lbs. He has quick feet and good enough lateral agility to play guard or center. He is a powerful kid with excellent character and a thirst to learn and be one of the best at his position. Because of his athleticism, Quinn can be used in any style of offensive line blocking scheme. He shows leadership skills through his work ethic on the field, and that along with his size, quickness, strength, and character, will allow Quinn, in the future, to be one of the best interior offensive linemen in a very rich, interior lineman class.
CONCERNS
At the Senior Bowl Quinn’s talents did stand out but what also stood out was his lack of techniques when pass blocking. Right now, he is a bit of a mauler and at the next level, until he learns the needed pass blocking techniques, the team that selects him will have to put up with penalties. Trust me it will be worth it.
BOTTOM LINE 2.39
There is no film on this kid except for his practice film at the Senior Bowl but it’s enough for me to tell you that I believe, there is a lot more to Quinn than just a gimmicky media star. I believe he has the potential to be a pro-bowl center or guard. Right now, he reminds me (on the field) of Richie Incognito only with, better character and leadership potential. That being said, Quinn’s potential to far exceed the level of play that Richie has reached, is immense. Watching this kid in interviews and the practice tapes of the Senior Bowl, you can see how much he really wants to be one of the best and how well he handles all of the attention given to him recently with the maturity of a veteran NFL player. He does need a lot of development and coaching but believe me when I say, my gut tells me he will learn quickly and he will become an excellent offensive lineman for the team that selects him. As I stated before, I think there is a pro bowl center in this kid just dying to get out and show his teammates and coaches. Kudos to the scouts and Jim Nagy for inviting him to the Senior Bowl to gauge at what level Quinn is at right now and in giving (The Mighty Quinn) a platform to show his athletic talent and character. Like Bob Dylan wrote in his song, come on without, come on within, you’ll not see nothing like the Mighty Quinn.
