STM Take

A long-tenured low-end starter who finally ticked upward.

The case for

Ten years of NFL starter reps including the Lions' 2023 NFC Championship Game run gives him postseason résumé that few interior linemen carry.
56-spot one-year jump from tier 8 (#104) in 2024 to tier 6 (#48) in 2025 shows the structural ceiling is still reachable in his prime-closing chapter.

The worry

Five straight tier 8 STTM finishes (2020-2024) before the 2025 jump shows the structural ceiling has historically capped at low starter.
Age 33 plus ten years of interior-line wear puts the structural age-related decline question on every 2026 projection.

What to watch: Whether Glasgow holds tier 6 or better across the full 2026 season at age 33, or whether the structural age-related decline drops the rank back to tier 8.

Full take and bio

Career STTM range almost entirely in tier 8 (five straight years 2021-2024) until the 2025 tier 6 (#48) jump puts Glasgow in the unusual position of being one of the longest-tenured tier 8 starters in the league. The Michigan technical foundation plus ten years of NFL starter reps including the Lions' 2023 NFC Championship run gives him the structural locker-room weight. The 2026 question is whether the 2025 jump holds or whether the structural age-32 decline drops the rank back to tier 8.

Glasgow came out of Michigan as the Detroit Lions' 3rd-round pick (95th overall) in 2016 and spent four years as the Lions' starting interior before signing with the Denver Broncos in 2020. He returned to Detroit in 2023 free agency to anchor the NFC Championship-era Lions offensive line. His STTM career runs tier 8 (#88) in 2021, tier 8 (#57) in 2022, tier 8 (#102) in 2023, tier 8 (#104) in 2024, and tier 6 (#48) jump in 2025.
