Mike McGlinchey, an eighth-year offensive lineman with the Denver Broncos, has a notable history rooted in his early career with the San Francisco 49ers. Drafted ninth overall in the 2018 NFL Draft, he made an immediate impact, starting all games in his rookie season and earning a spot on the All-Rookie Team. Over the next few seasons, McGlinchey continued to establish himself as a reliable force on the offensive line, helping the 49ers reach Super Bowl LIV in 2020.

Injuries have plagued him since 2021, causing him to miss significant playing time. However, with his transition to the Broncos, he aims to reclaim his form and provide protection for quarterback Russell Wilson and emerging talents in the backfield. The pressure is on for McGlinchey to establish a strong foundation for the Broncos' offensive strategies this season.
