Coming out of Michigan, Glasgow was projected by some analysts to be selected in the third or fourth round. He was ranked as the 8th best offensive guard out of the 203 available by NFLDraftScout.com.
Glasgow was drafted 95th overall by the Detroit Lions in the 2016 NFL draft. Halfway through the season he took over as the Lions starting left guard after struggles from former first-round pick Laken Tomlinson.
