That, of course, was a loose reference to Tippmann, drafted in 2023 as a center out of Wisconsin, who after two seasons in the middle of the O-line found himself in an emergency move from center to right guard when Alijah Vera-Tucker sustained a season-ending injury late last year in training camp.
“When you say moved around, I think it’s only been from center to guard,” Glenn said on Thursday. “So I don’t want to say it’s a lot of moving, but I would say this, and it’s no different from what I said last year. I mean, he was a guy that said ‘Coach, whatever you need me to do, I’ll do it.’ And I think he’s really embraced playing the guard position now.
“Listen, obviously we signed him because we know what type of player he is, we know what type of leader he is, and type of man he is, and that’s one of the reasons why he’s here. And we want to continue to build this team with men like that. So, very unselfish, communicates very well, does a good job of getting along with his teammates, and does a really good job in the locker room. So I’m happy. I’m happy to have him exactly where he’s at.”
