SANTA CLARA -- Mike McGlinchey was the center of attention during a party with approximately 150 attendees Thursday night near his home in Richboro, Pennsylvania.
The Notre Dame offensive tackle knew his name would get called at some point in the first round of the NFL draft. But when the phone rang and the 49ers were on the other end, he was more than a little surprised.
“I had no idea,” McGlinchey said in a conference call with Bay Area reporters. “It’s definitely a shock. But (I’m) absolutely thrilled to be a part of the San Francisco 49ers organization and my family and I couldn’t be happier.
