Minnesota Stock Up Showcase – Offensive linemen
In this article:
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>The morning session of the Prepredzone Minnesota Stock Up Showcase included the guys in the trenches. Watching offensive and defensive linemen work without pads is always impressive because of how physical the one-on-ones are in just shorts and t-shirts. These athletes go for it even without shoulder pads and helmets. Here are the linemen on the offensive side of the ball that caught my eye.</p>
