INDIANAPOLIS – On Tuesday night, soon after Philadelphia native Mike McGlinchey arrived at the scouting combine, he went to a formal interview with his hometown team.
These meetings are common at the combine, and they don’t necessarily foretell a prospect’s eventual destination. But Eagles fans can allow for wishful thinking when it comes to one of their own. Notre Dame’s McGlinchey, a Penn Charter alumnus, is rated among the top offensive tackles in the draft. That makes it unlikely that he would drop all the way to the No. 32 pick. If he did, it could be a storybook selection for the Eagles, who have an aging offensive line and have never spent a first-round pick on someone who grew up in the Philadelphia area.
