The Broncos landed one of the top offensive linemen available in free agency, signing former Lions standout Graham Glasgow to a three-year deal. The question now is, where will Glasgow play?
In Detroit, Glasgow spent time at left guard, center and right guard. The only position on the offensive line he didn’t play was tackle — and he’s willing to give that a shot if needed.
“I’m open to playing wherever,” Glasgow said during a conference all with reporters on March 24. “I’ve played all the positions in the past except for tackle. If they wanted me to play tackle, I’d give it a go, but hopefully not. I kind of imagine guard, but center is cool too.”
Fortunately, Denver shouldn’t need Glasgow to play as a tackle. At the moment, the Broncos view Glasgow as a right guard.
“Right now I think we’re thinking guard, but he can play center just as well, and that’s always good to have,” coach Vic Fangio said in a recent interview with Alexis Perry of the team’s official website.
After selecting Dalton Risner in the second round of last year’s draft, Denver will now have a pair of quality guards on either side of the center — a spot that seemingly remains up for grabs. If the Broncos do not select a center in April’s draft, Patrick Morris and Austin Schlottmann will likely compete for the job during training camp.
If the team needs to make changes to the line during the season — either in response to injuries or poor play — Glasgow’s versatility will come in handy. It sounds like he will begin the year as a guard, though.
