INDIANAPOLIS -- Notre Dame offensive tackle Mike McGlinchey spent plenty of time praising his hometown Philadelphia during his media session at the NFL Combine on Thursday.

Ranked by CBS Sports as the No. 5 offensive tackle in the draft, McGlinchey (6-7, 309) interviewed with the Eagles on Thursday night and at least one mock draft has him headed to Philadelphia. That, McGlinchey said, would be "a dream come true situation."

"Super Bowl champs, you know, passionate city," McGlinchey said. "Everything I do, everybody I love is back at home in Philadelphia. So, if any team would pick me that would be great, but it would be pretty special to go home, too."

McGlinchey said growing up in Philadelphia "taught him who he was."

"It's ingrained in my family, the way that we were raised," he said. "The competitiveness, the passion that I have for the sport and the loyalty that Eagles fans have for their team and obviously the rest of the sports teams in Philadelphia makes you, for the ones that you're playing for, have that much loyalty, too."

Asked for details about his interview with the Eagles, McGlinchey said they were "just talking ball." He said he spent a lot of time with offensive line coach Jeff Stoutland.

"Went over a lot of film," McGlinchey said. "He gets eccentric sometimes, and it was really cool for me to sit in there and let him get as intense as he gets trying to coach me and learn things.

"This is a cool experience for us out here, we're around some of the best and brightest minds in football for the next week or so and I get to talk to all these people, which is so cool to me."
