Former NFL Player Terry Glenn Dies In Car Accident

Former NFL wide receiver Terry Glenn died early Monday morning after being involved in a car crash in Irving, Texas. He was 43. Glenn was taken to Parkland Memorial Hospital, where he died shortly after midnight, the Dallas County medical examiner's office said. The accident reportedly was a single rollover crash. 

Glenn played parts of 12 seasons in the NFL with the New England Patriots, Green Bay Packers and Dallas Cowboys. He made the Pro Bowl in 1999 as a member of the Patriots. Glenn was drafted seventh overall by the Patriots in 1996 out of Ohio State. He caught Tom Brady's first NFL touchdown pass in 2001. 

The Columbus, Ohio, native had over 1,000 receiving yards four times in his career and finished with 593 catches for 8,823 yards and 44 touchdowns. A knee injury limited Glenn to one game with the Cowboys in 2007, his final season. 

Former Cowboys player Tony Casillas tweeted about Genn's death: "Asking for prayers for Terry Glenn's family he passed away this morning from car accident prayers for his fiancee." 

Damien Woody, who played with Glenn in New England, tweeted: "Man...#RIP to my former teammate Terry Glenn, who passed away this morning due to a car accident. Praying for his family."
