How much of a chance does Las Vegas Raiders rookie offensive lineman DJ Glaze have at starting at right tackle?
The Las Vegas Raiders selected Maryland offensive tackle DJ Glaze in the third round of the 2024 NFL Draft.
Glaze allowed just 34 total pressures and five sacks for his entire career. He stands at a massive 6-foot-5 and weighs 328 pounds. He was named Third-Team All-Big Ten last season. While Thayer Munford expects to be the starter at that spot this season, Glaze may have a shot at competing for the starting job.To start, let’s look at how Glaze fits in new offensive coordinator Luke Getsy’s scheme. Getsy will implement a wide zone run scheme, something Maryland's offensive coordinator, Josh Gattis, does not run.
Secondly, let’s look at the competition for the right tackle. As we mentioned, it’s Munford’s job to lose, and there’s no guarantee he won’t lose it. He has some stiff competition behind him for the job, including Glaze and former Pro Bowler Andrus Peat, who recently joined the Raiders as a free agent.
