In 2017, the San Francisco 49ers offensive line was not effective. That’s putting it mildly. With their first selection in the 2018 NFL Draft, the 49ers selected right tackle, Mike McGlinchey. The former Notre Dame star made an immediate impact. The year prior, the 49ers averaged 2.9 yards per carry on all runs that were to the right end. That was good for 26th in the league. With McGlinchey, the Niners averaged 4.63 yards per carry to the right end in 2018. It might not be fair to give the rookie all the credit for that, but it’s evident McGlinchey is and will be a difference-maker for years to come.
