Bucs third-round QB Mike Glennon is expected to dominate preseason snaps.
"We’re going to put a lot of pressure on [Glennon] and see a lot of reps from him in the preseason," GM Mark Dominik promised. "He’s got to play. We may not see as much of Dan Orlovsky or even of Josh Freeman. ... We’re excited about just the little bit we saw from him [during rookie minicamp] in terms of mentally what he could handle." If the coaches follow through on Dominik's plan, Glennon will have the opportunity to create a QB controversy not unlike Russell Wilson in Seattle last year. Glennon, of course, was Wilson's successor at NC State. Wilson was the 75th pick in the 2012 draft. Glennon went 73rd overall. May 15 - 10:41 PM

Mike Glennon - QB - Buccaneers

Bucs coach Greg Schiano clarified that No. 73 pick Mike Glennon is not being viewed as immediate competition for Josh Freeman.

Glennon is more likely to sit and watch as a rookie behind Freeman and Dan Orlovsky, and perhaps push for playing time in 2014. (Both Freeman and Orlovsky have one year left on their contracts.) "I think that’s hard with any rookie quarterback," said Schiano of Glennon playing right away. "It’s going to be a matter of how fast he grasps our system and all those things. And the fact of the matter is, we have a starting quarterback."

Mike Glennon - QB - Buccaneers

Buccaneers selected North Carolina State QB Mike Glennon with the No. 73 overall pick.

Glennon (6-foot-7 1/8, 225) took over the Wolfpack's offense following Russell Wilson's transfer and started two seasons, completing 60.3 percent of his throws with a 62:29 TD-to-INT ratio. Glennon is Rotoworld draft analyst Josh Norris' No. 4 QB in this class. Built like a young Joe Flacco with a powerful downfield arm, Glennon is an accurate deep passer. "Built like an oak tree," ESPN's Ron Jaworski has described. Glennon isn't a quality athlete, tends to hold onto the ball too long, and too often retreats rather than stepping up amid collapsing pockets. Sheer arm talent still makes him a quality developmental project -- and a great fit for Bucs OC Mike Sullivan's vertical scheme. Josh Freeman should consider himself on notice.

NFL.com's Daniel Jeremiah "could see" the Cardinals taking NC State QB Mike Glennon with the No. 38 pick.

Jeremiah — who's been money all spring — isn't passing along a report, but informed speculation. ESPN's Chris Mortensen passed along similar speculation last month. The Cardinals privately worked out Glennon on March 25. His big arm would make him a nice developmental project in Bruce Arians' vertical attack.

The Bears will work out NC State QB Mike Glennon on Tuesday.

Jay Cutler is in a contract year, and it's been clear the Bears won't extend him this offseason. He's on notice. With only Josh McCown and Matt Blanchard in reserve, the Bears are a sleeper team to draft a quarterback on the second day. It could be Glennon. It could be Matt Barkley, or Tyler Wilson. But Chicago isn't entering the season with just McCown and Blanchard backing up Cutler.

Yahoo's Mike Silver confirms the Cardinals still have "some interest" in NC State QB Mike Glennon despite the additions of Drew Stanton and Carson Palmer.

Palmer isn't a long-term solution at age 33, and Stanton is a career backup, even if Bruce Arians loves him. Glennon would give Arizona a potential long-term franchise quarterback. Despite the Cardinals' flurry of signal-caller movement, they shouldn't be ruled out as a likely destination for early-round passers. They're just not going to draft one with the seventh overall pick.

Mike Glennon - QB - Buccaneers

The Cardinals will conduct a private workout with N.C. State QB Mike Glennon on Tuesday.

Coach Bruce Arians isn't expected to be in attendance, but GM Steve Keim and assistant coach Tom Moore are in Raleigh. Glennon has the big arm that Arians likes for his vertical passing attack, and national media have been connecting the 23-year-old to the desert for some time now. He's likely not an option at No. 7 overall, but the Cards very well could use the 38th pick on a signal caller.

Mike Glennon - QB - Buccaneers

ESPN's Chris Mortensen stated on NFL 32 Tuesday that he believes the Cardinals are targeting NC State QB Mike Glennon in April's draft.

Previous rumors linked the Cardinals to Matt Barkley, but Barkley's weak arm would be a poor fit in Bruce Arians' scheme. Glennon has a cannon. "I really believe the guy they're hoping to get somewhere, whether it's in the second round ... is Mike Glennon," said Mort. "Their new head coach, Bruce Arians, likes big guys with big arms who can get the ball downfield." Arians could use Drew Stanton as a short-term quarterback stopgap while bringing along a rawer prospect like Glennon. He could be there at the 38th overall pick.

Mike Glennon - QB - Buccaneers

One NFL GM observed at the Combine that NC State QB Mike Glennon has "a long way to go," and should not be grouped with this year's top-rated quarterbacks.

And this year's top-rated QBs are hardly "elite." Glennon was reportedly "tough to watch" in Combine passing drills, displaying an "ungainly" stature and "long windup" to his throwing motion. Making quarterback draft-slot predictions at this time is worthless, but Glennon looks like a long shot for the first round.

Mike Glennon - QB - Buccaneers

North Carolina State QB Mike Glennon ran forty times of 5.00 and 5.00 at the NFL Scouting Combine.

Running the forty was never going to be a strength for Glennon, who is built like Joe Flacco at 6-foot-7, 225 and lacks explosive, quick-twitch athleticism. As a thrower, Glennon is a bit of a project because he's long on arm talent but short on consistency. "When he gets on a roll, it's really really good," explained NFL Network's Mike Mayock. "But a lot of inconsistency."

Mike Jurecki of XTRA Phoenix does not expect the Cardinals to use the No. 7 overall draft pick on a quarterback.

Quarterbacks will creep up perceived draft boards as the NFL draft nears, but at the moment none of the group is considered surefire first-round caliber. Of the group, Glennon would be the best fit for new Cardinals coach Bruce Arians' vertical offense, with a cannon arm. Arizona might be better off pursuing offensive line help before a young quarterback, however.

Mike Glennon - QB - Buccaneers

ESPN.com reports NC State QB Mike Glennon plans to throw at the Combine.

Glennon is joining West Virginia's Geno Smith and USC's Matt Barkley in planning to participate in throwing drills. It's indicative of just how jumbled the top of this year's QB board is, and that every prospect feels they have something to prove. Neither Andrew Luck nor Robert Griffin III threw at last year's Combine. A league source tells Profootballtalk.com he expects Glennon to have a "strong performance."
