New York Giants guard Mark Glowinski has appeared in 111 games over his eight-year NFL career and he’s gone against some of the best. Needless to say, he knows talent when he sees it.
However, after joining the Giants as a free agent last offseason, Glowinski quickly came to realize there was a whole new level of skill.
Enter All-Pro nose tackle Dexter Lawrence, who Glowinski says is on a “different level” compared to the rest of the league.
“I’ve never gone against anybody else like him. He’s on a different level.”

“I (hadn’t) really had the opportunity to go against anybody like that,” Glowinski said on the Ross Tucker Podcast. “He’s definitely on a different level. He might be a guy you don’t see for another few years or maybe not for a lot longer.”
Glowinski says that he ‘feels bad” for opposing offensive linemen who don’t know what they’re getting into every week. That empathy stems from practicing against Lawrence on a daily basis.
“We deal with that every day,” Glowinski said with a laugh, recalling Lawrence’s remarkable athleticism.
Glowinski also offered up praise for running back Saquon Barkley and quarterback Daniel Jones

“Every game that we were winning, he was opening up a little bit more. You would see a little bit more fire in him,” Glowinski said of Jones. “That swagger was coming out.”
With some consistency for the first time in his career and a long-term contract in tow, Glowinski expects Jones to get even better in 2023.
“He can just go out there and have fun and kick (expletive),” Glowinski said. “I think that’s what was shown last year.”
