48. Mike McGlinchey is coming from a long line of offensive lineman to go into the NFL from Notre Dame lately. He is following the most recent footsteps of guys like Zach Martin and Ronnie Stanley into the league. This is another case of the NFL knowing the kid was taught well in school.
<p>This isn’t to say he’s the next Jonathan Ogden but he is very good with upside to be a very good pro left tackle. McGlinchey doesn’t play like Cardinals left tackle Jared Veldheer he is on the same level. Neither of them look like they will wear a gold jackets when their respective careers end.</p>
<p>But Veldheer is a solid left tackle that the Cardinals can win with and won’t lose because of. When you find a left tackle like that, you have found a good thing and shouldn’t let him go. Even finding a passable left tackle to get you through an NFL season isn’t easy to do.</p>
<p>Tampa Bay Buccaneers quarterback Jameis Winston would appreciate a guy like that with what he has now. Otherwise, he leads an explosive offense while the young defense is coming along. Once they get Winston protected, there’s no limit to where he can take the Buccaneers.</p>. OT. Notre Dame. Mike McGlinchey. 18. player
