College career
Glenn had a stellar career at Indiana State University; a two-time All-Conference safety, he was awarded the 1985 Missouri Valley Conference "Player of the Year (Defense)" and was named All-American by the AFCA. A ball-hawking safety, he still holds the ISU record for career interceptions (17), notching 2 vs. #6 Eastern Illinois in the 1983 playoffs.
In 1984, he was 4th in the Missouri Valley Conference in Interceptions (6) and 2nd in Interception Return Yardage (126).
He participated in the 1986 Senior Bowl[2] and was invited to the Blue–Gray Football Classic.
Professional career
Glenn also played for the San Diego Chargers, New Orleans Saints, Minnesota Vikings, and New York Giants.[3]
Glenn intercepted 35 passes during his career; he ranks #25 on the San Diego Chargers career interceptions list (12 INTs);[4] he is currently tied at #18 (14 INTs) on the Minnesota Vikings career interceptions list.[5] Glenn is the record holder for longest interception return in Chargers history, after scoring on a 103-yard return against the Denver Broncos in Template:NFL Year.[6] This return is the third-longest in NFL history; it was the longest ever at the time until Ed Reed broke the record in 2004 and again in 2008.[7]
He led the NFL in 'Interception Return Yardage' in 1987 with 166 yards.[8]
