NFL Free Agents 2018: Grades for Wednesday’s Signings & Landing Spot Predictions

The 2011 first-round pick peaked early in his career. Solder’s best years were 2012 and 2013,reebok nfl jerseys  and his pass-blocking abilities have declined ever since he missed the majority of the 2015 season with a biceps injury.

“He’s coming off arguably the worst season of his entire career,” wrote Michael Renner of Pro Football Focus last month. “nfl authentic jerseys Solder allowed a career-high 51 total pressures, including seven in one game against the Chargers.”
