Terry Tyree Glenn (born July 23, 1974) is a former American college and professional football player who was a wide receiver in the National Football League (NFL) for 12 seasons. He played college football for Ohio State University, and was recognized as an All-American. He was drafted by the New England Patriots seventh overall in the 1996 NFL Draft, and also played for the Green Bay Packers and Dallas Cowboys.
Glenn was born in Columbus, Ohio. He attended Brookhaven High School in Columbus, and was a three-year letterman in high school football, basketball, and track, and a two-year letterman in tennis.
Glenn attended Ohio State University, and was a walk-on player for Ohio State Buckeyes football team and later earned an athletic scholarship. In 1995, he was recognized as a consensus first-team All-American and won the Fred Biletnikoff Award as the nation's top wide receiver.
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. Wide receiver Anquan Boldin went on to catch 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 due to a series of off-the-field problems. Glenn only wound up playing in four games in 2001, most notably catching the first career touchdown pass thrown by Tom Brady in a game against the San Diego Chargers. The Patriots went on to win Super Bowl XXXVI without Glenn, and he did not receive a Super Bowl ring.
