Terry Glenn, former NFL wide receiver, dies in car accident in Texas.
Full of potential but just never fully lived up to it.
Glenn, who played for the Patriots, Packers and Cowboys over a 12-year NFL career, leaves behind a fiancee and five children.
Glenn played under Bill Parcells in both New England and Dallas and became the subject of the famed coach’s criticism after the Patriots drafted him with their No. 7 overall pick in 1996 despite Parcell's objection. When Glenn was slow to recover from an injury in his first NFL training camp, Parcells mocked his rookie receiver by saying, “She’ll be alright.”
Glenn, a Columbus native who was a walk-on at Ohio State University, spent six seasons in New England, making the Pro-Bowl in 1999 before being traded to Green Bay prior to the 2002 season.
After one year with the Packers he was dealt to Cowboys, where he completed his NFL career after a five-year stint in Dallas. He finished with 593 total catches for 8,823 yards and 44 touchdowns, tallying over 1,000 receiving yards four times.
