|BlackJesus| Posted April 29, 2017 Author Report Share Posted April 29, 2017 Ryan Glasgow 6'3 302 lbs Overview Ryan hopes to follow in the footsteps of his brother, Graham, who is a starting guard for the Detroit Lions as a rookie. He took a step in that direction by garnering second-team All-Big Ten notice and the team's Defensive Lineman of the Year in his final season (39 tackles, 9.5 for loss, four sacks). Glasgow was just happy to return to the field after missing the end of his junior year with a torn pectoral muscle (nine starts, 25 tackles, five for loss). He was a starter in 2014, as well (22 tackles, four for loss) following two years without much playing time (redshirted in 2012, two tackles in 11 games in 2013). Analysis Strengths Former walk-on with hard-hat demeanor. Willing fighter in trenches and refuses to give blockers a snap off. From football family. Big brother, Graham, starred at Michigan and now plays for Lions. Muscular and rugged with no bad weight on his frame. Has power in his upper body and uses a powerful club move along with a pull-and-shuck technique to get rid of blockers. Technician as interior run defender. Plays with wide base and good balance. Shows feel for double teams and braces quickly against them. Powerful, heavy tackler. Has arm length and power to lock out blockers in a two-gap scheme. Has strength to force his way past redirect blocks. Comes from a competitive family background and has excelled beyond expectations. Weaknesses Could use more pure mass in lower body to withstand double teams inside. True NFL power across from him could limit his effectiveness. Not a natural knee bender, which limits his athletic movements in tight quarters and as a pass rusher. Square-shoulder playing style will limit his ability to disrupt at NFL level. Lacks pass-rush talent and skill set. Needs more violence and activity from his hands as a rusher. Unlikely to be on the field on third downs as a pro. Draft Projection Round 5-6 NFL Comparison Matt Ioannidis Bottom Line Ryan Glasgow has helped to give Michigan head coach Jim Harbaugh a level of toughness and dependability in the middle which has helped propel the Wolverines defense. He wants in on the action at all times and is at his best when he's able to play the man in front of him rather than having to get involved with Michigan's constantly twisting defensive front. Glasgow's rock 'em, sock 'em approach should appeal to defensive line coaches looking for high effort depth along their defensive front, but his inability to rush at an NFL level means he's unlikely to be more than a two-down player which could slide him to Day 3.

VonBlade Posted April 29, 2017 Report Share Posted April 29, 2017 Sometimes these player video packages you end up peering trying to work out who our player is. This one had him highlighted, but he didn't need to be. Just look for the guy breaking through blocks and motoring to the football. Love it.

HavePityPlease Posted April 29, 2017 Report Share Posted April 29, 2017 Exactly the kind of guy I've wanted for a long time - "get on my back and let's go" type, do anything to help the play, "lunch pail guy", however you want to slice it - a fuggin' football player.

happyrid Posted April 29, 2017 Report Share Posted April 29, 2017 Interesting that PFF graded him so highly as a pass rusher. But then you see on other scouting reports that he's a 2-down run stuffer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can you imagine him and Billings rotating spots on the DL to keep each other fresh? Oh my. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
