Player Analysis: Reggie Wells

Height: 6'4"
Weight: 314 lbs
Age: 29
Experience: 8 years
Position: Offensive Guard

Earlier today, the Eagles acquired guard Reggie Wells in a trade with the Arizona Cardinals in return for an undisclosed draft pick in the 2011 NFL Draft. The Eagles are clearly looking to bolster an offensive line that has proven to be lackluster throughout the entire preseason, and hopefully will do so with the acquisition. Wells, a Pennsylvania native that played his college ball with Clarion University, had played in 90 straight games with the Arizona Cardinals before being traded. The newly acquired guard looks to unseat current left guard Todd Herremans, who was bothered by a foot injury last season. Whether the Eagles intend to start Wells or use him as a means of inspiring the current starters to outplay their expectations, one thing is for certain: Wells will certainly have an impact on an extremely lethargic and unproven Offensive Line.
