Originally chosen in the third-round of the 2019 NFL Draft, out of Penn State, McGovern developed into an anchor along the Cowboys’ offensive line. Now, McGovern will be tasked with keeping Bills star quarterback Josh Allen upright, in one of the league’s most prolific offenses.

McGovern struggled with injuries early in his career, including a pectoral injury that knocked him out of his rookie campaign.

During his time along the Nittany Lions‘ offensive line, McGovern garnered third-team All Big-Ten honors in 2018.
