Jason Glenn
Jason Lydell Glenn (born August 20, 1979) is an American former professional football player who was a linebacker in the National Football League (NFL) for the New York Jets, Miami Dolphins, and Minnesota Vikings from 2001 to 2006. He played college football for the Texas A&M Aggies. He is the younger brother of retired NFL cornerback and New York Jets head coach Aaron Glenn.
Jason played youth football in the same league his brother Aaron did, the Humble Area Football League HAFL. Glenn attended Chester W. Nimitz High School in Houston, Texas.
Glenn began his college career at Texas A&M University as a safety, but significant increases in size and strength made him better suited for the linebacker position, which he began playing his sophomore year. He was an All-Big 12 Conference first-team selection as a senior in 2000 despite suffering a season-ending knee injury. He finished his college career with 167 tackles (107 solo), 11 sacks, 22 passes deflected and 33 tackles for losses and was one of the Aggies' fan favorites as well as a vocal leader on and off the field.
He was selected a third-team All-American by the Associated Press.
Glenn was selected by the Detroit Lions in the sixth round of the 2001 NFL draft with the 173rd overall pick. Glenn played in the final 15 regular season games of 2001 as rookie with the Jets and finished fifth on the team in special teams tackles with 17. He played in an AFC wild card game at Oakland on January 12, 2002, and had one special teams tackle.
He played in all 16 of the 2002 Jets' games. Most of his time was spent on special teams, where he ranked second on the team with 27 tackles, as well as a blocked punt and one fumble recovery. He also had a tackle and a pass deflection in spot duty as an extra linebacker. He made one tackle on defense and two on special teams in the AFC Wild Card playoff game win over Indianapolis Glenn two special teams tackles in the AFC Divisional Playoff loss at Oakland.
Glenn played in 14 games in 2003 for Jets and saw his role increase significantly from his first two seasons. Although he was used primarily as the team's nickel linebacker, he did start once (game 14 against Pittsburgh) and ended up with 47 tackles on the season.
In 2004, he was limited due to injury—he suffered a fractured right arm against New England and missed six games with the injury. He finished with 10 tackles (seven solo) and a fumble recovery.
