Connor McGovern- Center

With Matt Paradis out of tonight’s game, this will give us a chance to see what Connor McGovern can do on the offensive line. Many have said that his camp performance and OTA’s have been spectacular. I am curious to see how that transpires to live reps.

When I heard he was drafted by the Denver Broncos last season, I had to take a look. I was surprised that he did not get any playing time. Perhaps the staff of Gary Kubiak saw something that we just did not see.

Either way, I really would like to see how he performs. I could also see this as an opportunity for him to earn a spot on the offensive line once Matt Paradis does return.

The guy who could squat 700 pounds will be a player of interest to me on Thursday Night in Chicago.
