We continue rumbling on through the trenches, scanning through free agent offensive linemen who could make life much more fruitful for Sam Darnold and Le’Veon Bell.

After diving into the backgrounds of high-profile free agent linemen Brandon Scherff and Jack Conklin, we continue with a lesser-heralded option up front: Broncos center Connor McGovern. Center is as big of a problem as any spot on the Jets’ offensive line. The four players who have followed Nick Mangold — Wesley Johnson, Spencer Long,…
A couple days ago, I kicked off the free agent profile series with one of the top names on the offensive line market — Redskins right guard Brandon Scherff.
