Glenn Foley
Glenn Foley (born October 10, 1970) is an American former professional football quarterback. He played in the National Football League (NFL) with the New York Jets from 1994 to 1998 and the Seattle Seahawks in 1999 and in the Arena Football League (AFL) with the New Jersey Gladiators in 2002.
Foley played high school football at Cherry Hill High School East in his hometown of Cherry Hill, New Jersey.
Foley attended Boston College and played for the Boston College Eagles football team. In 1993, he led the Eagles in a 41–39 upset over previously undefeated Notre Dame and a victory over Virginia Cavaliers in the 1994 Carquest Bowl. To finish the season, he received 180 votes for the Heisman Trophy, finishing in fifth place.
Entering the 1994 NFL draft Foley worked out for almost all the teams in the NFL at the February scouting combine in Indianapolis.
Before the draft, Foley was rated by Miami Herald sports writer Alex Marvez and by Charles Bricker of the Fort Lauderdale Sun-Sentinel as the draft's third-best quarterback behind Heath Shuler and Trent Dilfer. NFL analyst Mel Kiper also rated Foley as the third-best quarterback in the draft, whilst The Californian rated him fourth behind Shuler, Dilfer, and Idaho’s Doug Nussmeier. Jim Thomas of the St. Louis Post-Dispatch, however, did not rate Foley among the five best quarterbacks available. Those who had played against Foley in college had doubts about his size, durability, and consistency as a short passer, and Bricker said that Foley would not be chosen before the fourth round.
Foley was ultimately selected in the seventh round of the draft and played sporadically for the Jets from 1994 to 1998. From 1996 to 1998 he threw for 2,013 yards with 10 touchdowns and 14 interceptions during that three-season span. Foley was the Jets' starting quarterback to open the 1998 season and threw for 415 yards in an overtime Week 1 loss to the San Francisco 49ers, but injuries resulted in Vinny Testaverde taking the starting job.
Foley was traded to the Seattle Seahawks in 1999. He was released in a cost-cutting move during the Seahawks' final cuts before the 2000 season.
Foley worked at Sports Radio 950 AM in Philadelphia from August 2006 until March 2008 when WPEN joined ESPN Radio.
