Glenn got his start in football while playing in high school

A native of Columbus Ohio, Glenn got his start in the sport while playing in high school, where he also got involved with basketball, tennis, and track. Attending Ohio State University, he became a walk-on player for the Buckeyes football team, later winning an athletic scholarship, as well as the Fred Biletnikoff Award.

Drafted as a Patriot & eventually became a Packer

Glenn had originally been drafted the seventh overall in the 1996 draft by the Patriots, for whom he stayed with for six seasons. Afterwards, he went on to play for the Packers. In total, he caught 593 passes for 8,823 yards and 44 touchdowns in his NFL career.

Glenn has left three children behind

At this time, Glenn is believed to be survived by his fiancee and three children, according to 247 Sports. Some of Glenn’s former teammates have also offered their condolences over the accident on social media.

Updates on Glenn’s accident

Update: According to TMZ, the car crash that claimed Glenn’s life involved a single-car, with Glenn ejected from his vehicle. Glenn had passed by the time officials arrived at the crash, with him officially announced dead on arrival.

His fiancee had been with him in the car at the time of the accident, but she had survived the crash and is currently being treated in the ICU of a local hospital.

Officials have said that they will hold an autopsy for Glenn, to try to make sure what had caused the draft. At this time, however, details about the accident are said to be unclear.
