79 – Todd Herremans – G/T


A big athletic force on the offensive line, Todd Herremans has
been solid as the team's starting left guard over the last three
seasons. During his rookie year in 2005, Herremans saw
valuable action at left tackle for an injured Tra Thomas and
successfully made the transition to guard in his sophomore
campaign. A fourth round draft choice of the Eagles, Herremans
was a Division II All-America selection at Saginaw Valley State.
In 2006, he earned a five-year contract extension that will keep
him in Philadelphia through 2013.
