The New England Patriots, the team that drafted Glenn in the first round back in 1996, also expressed their sympathy for Glenn’s family.
We cannot express our sadness for the loss of former Patriots WR Terry Glenn, who has reportedly died in a car accident. Our prayers go out to his family. Terry joined us at our SB pep rally in Houston last year and was working with foster children. RIP TG.

Glenn spent six seasons with the Patriots from 1996-2001 before playing for the Green Bay Packers for a year in 2002. He was able to revive his career playing under Bill Parcells once again with the Dallas Cowboys in the mid-2000s, putting together back-to-back 1,000-yard seasons in 2005 and 2006.
