With his current footwork, I'm going to say OG... not that the Packers can't fix that, but simply if they don't or can't then he's an OG only as I don't think that kick slide is going to make it at OT in the NFL. Of course, that MIGHT be easy for some guys to fix (depends on the guy), but he needs new muscle reputation there.
As for the punt fake, did get the first down or not? Kinda disappointing that guy made the tackle... one more block and that might of been a race to the end zone.

TRAVIS GLOVER, T, GEORGIA STATE
Rd. 6/Pk. 202.
Height: 6-6.
Weight: 317.
40: 5.31.
Wonderlic: 24.
Hometown: Vienna, Ga.
Fact/stat: Arms were 34 ¾, hands were 9 ¾. Just 20 reps on the bench press. Vertical jump of 27 ½, broad jump of 8-4. Worked out at pro day March 18 after not being invited to the combine. Was 317 at pro day, 323 last spring. Started 57 of 59 games after redshirting in 2018. His starts d 35 at left tackle, 18 at right tackle and four at left guard. Will be 24 in August. Joined the Senior Bowl at mid-week as a replacement player.
NFC scout: “Knows who to block but not how to block them. Consistent, you know what you’re going to get. Not an overly tenacious or nasty player. Stiff in his pass sets and late to redirect and adjust. He’s tall, and plays tall. Gets by on pure size more than anything else. Slower feet and tight lower body. You really like the size, and he’s a very experienced player. Football intelligence is fine. It’s his technique that’s the issue. Mature, grounded, upbeat, well-liked. It matters to him. He’s done well to stay in shape and keep his body fat down.”
NFC scout: “Fat guy. Showed up at the bowl games. He’s big. No feet. He ain’t my cup of tea. Free agent for me.”

I love the dichotomy in the scout reports. First guy is doing a good job giving a synopsis of Glover. The second guy doesn't even bother. "Fat guy". Clearly he doesn't care. I glanced at a few photos of Glover. He is not a fat guy. He's an OL. They are not known to compete on the balance beam or twirling the ribbon in
rhythmic gymnastics.

College profile
Breakdown: Highly experience offensive tackle with a massive frame and incredible length. Started games at both left and right tackle and also has some guard experience. Finished with 57 starts, second most in school history. Left tackle for offensive line that produced Sun Belt’s leading rusher in 2023. Didn’t test well but turned heads during the on-field opportunities pre-draft, including at the Senior Bowl. Will turn 24 during rookie season but is a project. In recent years, Packers have trended more and more towards these long, tall offensive tackles in later rounds and college free agency. Can Glover beat out Caleb Jones or Luke Tenuta?
Dane Brugler’s scouting report: “A five-year starter at Georgia State, Glover lined up primarily at left tackle in former head coach Shawn Elliott’s balanced offense. With 57 career starts (second most in school history), he showed steady improvements over the years and played his best as a super senior. He continued that momentum with standout weeks at the Hula Bowl and Senior Bowl. A big-bodied blocker, Glover transfers his immense body force into his hands to jolt at contact, and he often goes back for seconds with his punishing mentality. Though he appears heavy at times in space, he relies on his length to reassert himself and save his feet from the quicksand. Overall, Glover isn’t an explosive athlete, and achieving leverage will be a constant battle for him, but he also isn’t a slug and looks for ways to unleash his power in all areas. Given his experience at both tackle and guard, he can provide depth at multiple spots on a team’s depth chart.”
Lance Zierlein’s scouting report: “A five-year starter with elite size, Glover is well-proportioned with good lean mass. His stance is funky and might need to be corrected to improve his pass sets and avoid play tells. Glover has good length, but his hands can be late or inaccurate, which mitigates his size/length advantage. He’s a plus drive blocker and can climb up or outside the box and adjust to movement. Improved hand usage and placement will bolster his consistency as both a run and pass blocker, but quick defenders might always trouble him. Whether he ends up at tackle or guard, Glover has the traits and upside that could allow him to stick around on a roster and improve his chances for eventual playing time.”
They said it: “I think it definitely helped him. I think it helps anybody whether you come from a Power 5 school or whether you come from a small school, but I do think sometimes when you come from a small school you may have more questions about level of competition and then you walk out to the Senior Bowl and go against those guys and prove yourself a little bit, that certainly can help, yeah. In his case it did.” — Brian Gutekunst
