Remember when there were people out there who doubted a Glasgow? Well, it wasn’t very smart.
While Graham and Ryan Glasgow were more obvious choices to make it in the NFL given that both Michigan football brothers went from walk-ons to standout linemen in Ann Arbor, for some reason, linebacker Jordan Glasgow didn’t get that same benefit of the doubt. Yet, he surprised many, winning the starting WILL linebacker job his senior season, while securing the spot of the nation’s surest tackler at the college level.
When he was drafted in the sixth-round of the 2020 NFL Draft by the Indianapolis Colts, naysayers were surprised, but didn’t anticipate much. And given that sixth-round picks aren’t exactly shoe-ins to make NFL 53-man rosters, according to our sister site, ColtsWire, it appears that the youngest Glasgow brother is set to do just that.
ColtsWire put together a gallery of its projected 53-man roster for Indianapolis this fall after witnessing the first team scrimmage, and at linebacker, it has Jordan Glasgow making the cut. Assuredly, his special teams prowess plays a part in their line of thinking.

They did bring in the rookie Glasgow as a sixth-round pick, but he won’t be working on defense very often, if at all. He will be competing for a role on special teams and while that isn’t exciting, the Colts believe he can be a major impact in that phase of the game.
Given Glasgow’s trajectory, we wouldn’t be surprised if he continued to surpass expectations.
After all, that’s all he and his brothers have done at every step of the way.
