Former NFL wide receiver Terry Glenn has reportedly died after being involved in a car crash in Irving, Texas. He was 43.
The Irving Police Department confirmed to ESPN that a car wreck occurred at 12:18 a.m. Monday and that the driver was killed, but it did not release the victim’s name. Police claim that the driver left its travel lane and slammed into a concrete barrier that divides the express lanes from the local lanes. The vehicle rolled and the driver was ejected from the car, and a passenger (his fiancee) suffered minor injuries, ESPN reports.
Asking for prayers for Terry Glenn's family he passed away this morning from car accident prayers for his fiancée 🙏🙏🙏

Glenn played three years at Ohio State where he was a first-team All-American for the Buckeyes and set the school record for receiving yards in a single game back in 1995 with 253 yards and four touchdowns. Glenn was selected by the Patriots with the seventh overall draft pick in 1996 and helped the Patriots reach the Super Bowl, where they’d go on to lose to the Packers. He’d spend 12 years in the NFL–six season with the Patriots, one season with the Packers, and five seasons with the Cowboys. He finished his NFL career with 593 catches for 8,823 yards and 44 touchdowns.
Glenn was also the recipient of Tom Brady’s first career touchdown pass back in 2001.
Glenn leaves behind a fiancee and five children.
