Former Georgia offensive lineman Cordy Glenn (71) was selected by the Buffalo Bills in Friday’s second round of the NFL draft.RECRUITING REWINDThere were just as many Rivals.com two-star prospects in Thursday night’s first round of the NFL draft as five-star prospects.The two-star prospects were Boise State running back Doug Martin and defensive end Shea McClellin, Memphis defensive tackle Dontari Poe and Syracuse defensive end Chandler Jones. The five-star recruits were Alabama tailback Trent Richardson and cornerback Dre Kirkpatrick, Southern Cal tackle Matt Kalil and Notre Dame receiver Michael Floyd.Oklahoma State quarterback Brandon Weeden didn’t have any stars, because the 28-year-old’s stint in high school predated the Rivals.com rankings.
Former Georgia offensive lineman Cordy Glenn spent Friday morning and afternoon as ESPN analyst Mel Kiper’s best available NFL draft prospect remaining after Thursday night’s first round.
The wait ended Friday night when Glenn was selected by the Buffalo Bills with the ninth pick of the second round, making him the 41st overall pick. The 6-foot-5, 345-pounder had been pegged before the draft by Kiper as the 14th-best prospect overall.
“I wish I could have gotten off early, but I’m just happy to be picked right now,” Glenn said in an interview on the Bills website. “I know where I am playing at now. It is a big relief.”
The Bills are coached by former Georgia Tech coach Chan Gailey, and their general manager is former University of Tennessee at Chattanooga coach Buddy Nix.
