New England Patriots Top 30 Visit: Georgia State OT Travis Glover

Every NFL franchise is allowed to invite up to 30 draft prospects to visit their facilities and meet with the members of the organization before the NFL Draft. These selections range from first-round targets to players who might be available as undrafted free agents.

NFL Draft

Travis Glover did not receive an invitation to the NFL Scouting Combine. However, the big man has been very busy following Georgia State’s season. He participated in both the Hula Bowl and Reese’s Senior Bowl. He also performed at Georgia State’s Pro Day, which also featured linebacker Jontrey Hunter, another potential draft pick in 2024.

Glover has excellent size. He is listed at 6-foot-6 and 323 pounds. However, reports indicate Glover has been working out religiously in preparation for the NFL Draft and has dropped 15 pounds. His hard work has not gone unnoticed.

Senior Bowl director Jim Nagy was highly complimentary of Glover.

“Teams looking to draft developmental swing tackle with toughness and make-it physical traits will be targeting Glover in Rounds 6-7,” said Nagy. “File this deep sleeper away for draft weekend,”

Based on his Top 30 visit, Glover has gotten the attention of the Patriots.

Travis Glover was not selected in the seven-round NFL Mock Draft posted on this site (his teammate, Jontrey Hunter, went in Round 6). But it is not hard to see Glover going at the end of the draft. The New England Patriots have brought in several offensive tackle prospects who are on their radar for Day 3 of the draft or as undrafted free agents. These include Penn State’s Caeden Wallace, Tulsa’s Darrell Simpson, and the University of British Columbia’s Giovanni Manu. New England will likely be adding one of these bookends to their roster over the next few weeks. Glover’s size, work ethic, and versatility make him an attractive option.
