The man had a very good year in 2024, and was the only player to start all 16 games during that injury-plagued season for the offensive line.
He also only allowed two sacks all year.
Hats off to Joe Rudolph and Loren Landow for bringing up yet another excellent stalwart player.

He and Knapp were the very definition of great technique and leverage. Neither guy is a big man (both are around 290), but they did the job, and did it quite well.
In Knapp's case, he has more room to grow, and could add another 10-15 lbs without losing speed. In Wagner's case, he may very well be maxed out on his size.
That's not a killer for a pro career, though, since there are pro-style systems where smaller guys who have great technique and leverage, can thrive. The Erhardt-Perkins and West Coast systems would be great for him.
