Winter’s last gasp had only recently let go and gave way to spring when Mike McGlinchey first sized up the Broncos’ offensive line group back in May.
Lloyd Cushenberry? Really smart, he’d already figured out.
Guards Ben Powers and Quinn Meinerz? McGlinchey called them “as big and quick and powerful” as any guards in the NFL.
And what about him and Garett Bolles? The $17.5 million-per-year newcomer and the left tackle coming into a crossroads year in his career and after breaking his leg in 2022?
“I certainly believe in the two tackles we have here that we can be upper echelon and always planning to be the top in the league,” McGlinchey said.
