Terry Tyree Glenn (born July 23, 1974 in
Columbus, Ohio) is a retired
American football wide receiver. He was drafted by the
New England Patriots seventh overall in the
1996 NFL Draft. He played
college football at
Ohio State.
He has also played for the Green Bay Packers and Dallas Cowboys.
Early years
Glenn attended
Brookhaven High School in Columbus,Ohio, and was a three-year letterman in football, basketball, and track, and a two-year letterman in tennis.
College career
Without a scholarship, he walked on and played
college football at the
Ohio State University. In 1995, Glenn was awarded the
Fred Biletnikoff Award as the nation's top wide receiver.
Professional career
New England Patriots
Glenn was drafted in the first round (seventh overall) of the
1996 NFL Draft by the
New England Patriots. Glenn Immediately made a big impact for New England, recording 90 receptions for 1,132 yards and 6 touchdowns in his rookie season, and helping his team reach
Super Bowl XXXI. At the time, his 90 receptions were the most ever in a single season by a rookie in NFL history. Current
Baltimore Ravens receiver
Anquan Boldin caught 101 passes his rookie year during the
2003 NFL Season for the
Arizona Cardinals. Patriots head coach, Bill Parcells, once referred to Glenn as "she", but after the 1996 season said he was wrong and Glenn was a winner. However, Parcells left New England after Glenn's rookie season and the talented wide receiver went into a four-year stretch of personal difficulties and inconsistent play. During the 2001 season, coach
Bill Belichick deactivated him for the rest of the season because of serial off-the-field problems - an interview on
WBZ-TV in which Glenn hinted he was faking injuries because of Patriots discipline ("I'm bothered by a hamstring right now and I'm not getting paid. You do the math," he told a stunned
Steve Burton) was a particular issue - and when the Patriots won
Super Bowl XXXVI, Glenn did not receive a championship ring. Glenn played in four games in 2001, most notably against the
San Diego Chargers, where he caught the first touchdown thrown by
Tom Brady.
Green Bay Packers
Before the 2002 season, the Patriots traded Glenn to the
Green Bay Packers in exchange for two fourth-round draft picks.
Dallas Cowboys
Before the 2003 season the Packers traded him to the
Dallas Cowboys. Against the
Kansas City Chiefs in 2005, he caught a touchdown pass on a flea-flicker and rushed for a touchdown on an end-around, both trick plays. Glenn finished the 2005 season with 63 receptions for 1,136 yards and 7 touchdowns, the most receiving yards he had amassed in a single season since 1999. In 2006 he recorded another 1000 yard season and 6 touchdowns.
Glenn missed the first fifteen games of the 2007 season and had been unable to even practice due to pre-season arthroscopic knee surgery. He returned to practice on December 12, 2007 but did not play in Week 15 against the Philadelphia Eagles and did not fly to Carolina for the Week 16 game. He made his season debut in Week 17 against the Washington Redskins.
Glenn was released by the Cowboys on July 25, 2008 due to health concerns on his right knee, and not signing an injury clause.
Miami Dolphins
At the beginning of August 2009, Terry accepted a position with the Miami Dolphins as an intern coach. During training camp, he assisted wide receiver coach Karl Dorrell.
Personal life
Glenn was arrested in a
Dallas hotel in January 2009 and charged with
marijuana possession and public intoxication. Pennon Newspaper reporter Adamo has an article referring to Terry Glenn in the Where Are They Now Athletes Edition
Terry Glenn was arrested again on January 5, 2010 for Grand Theft Auto in Irving, Texas for not returning a rented automobile
