Submitted by lastofthedogmen on January 19th, 2016 at 1:14 PM

According to Tony Pauline of draftinsiders.net, Glasgow has stood out as one of the top 5 players at the Shrine practices so far. http://m.philadelphiaeagles.com/ Scroll down to the day 1 practice report. He's also got several tweets about him.

all it takes is 1 team that has him high on the board. I dont remember anyone thinking frank clark was a 2nd rd pick before seattle took him

there were teams who have him at 2nd round without the character red flags. Seattle just basically ignored the character red flags and took Frank Clark at 2nd. That was months before the draft when I first hear of his round grade.

How does a guy like this even start out as a walk on?

If I remember correctly, I've heard that he and his brother didn't start playing football till late in high school. They were relative unknowns, but somehow Brady Hoke got wind of them and offered the preferred walk on status

A lot of programs hit wind of Glasgow late. He had some small school offers, and was originally committed to OSU as a PWO before flipping to UM.

And aren't both of his parents physicians? I suspect with that gene pool he's pretty bright which helps on the OL.

See Jack Conklin, see Eric Fisher.

OL development is so difficult to project. When 265 lb guys are "dominating" 210 opponents in HS how does that project 4 years down the road? When they face people as big as them? Then move on to speed. Some guys who play at schools of 900 to 1200 people may never face a future D1 athlete in their life on the DL in HS. Or face 1 a year. What about mental challenges of learning the position? OL must work togethe runlike say a WR who can be his own actor. Resiliency? Heart on field? Study habits in film room? etc.

Everything is difficult to project but nothing more than OL. See our 2012 and 2013 classes.

As for Glasgow I did feel he was underrated because having the ability to play 2 positions on a NFL OL is a valued component on a 53 man roster (and 45 active on game day I believe). Worst case this is a 6th, 7th OL guy that you can play for 12 years who can always go in immediately if 3 of the 5 guys on your OL fall out of a game with injury. That seems like 5th round value at worst to me. Esp when one of those positions is so specialized as center.

The Glasgows are an amazing group. The fact that Graham went from walk on to NFL prospect is amazing. The fact that his brother has also done the same is unbelievable. And there's one more.
