![Edina offensive lineman Quinn Carroll, who is one of the top lineman in the country, took to the field for practice, Tuesday, August 22, 2017 in Edina, MN. ] ELIZABETH FLORES ï liz.flores@startribune.com](https://arc.stimg.co/startribunemedia/4T5ILOL2SVCSZATMB5JJ4OWB3U.jpg?&w=712)
Sum up the 2017 Star Tribune Metro Preseason Dream Team with one word: Big. As in offensive linemen averaging 6-5 and 293 pounds. At receiver, St. Croix Lutheran's Garett Maag and Buffalo's Treyton Welch are 6-3 or taller. Every member of the defensive backfield tops 6 feet. In fact, only one member of the defense stands below that threshold.
