Terry Glenn #83
Wide Receiver
5'11 195 7/23/74
Ohio State
Trade (Green Bay) for '03 NFL: 12th Year
Cowboys: 5th Year

PRO: An explosive, fluid playmaker, Glenn has been a deep threat in the Cowboys' offense since he came to Dallas in a trade with Green Bay before the 2003 season. Since his arrival, he has averaged 16.0 yards per catch, and 150 of his 208 catches have picked up a first down.
He and Terrell Owens form a dangerous one-two punch and one of the NFL's most accomplished pair of starting receivers. Heading into the 2007 season, Glenn and Owens have combined for 1,394 receptions, 20,538 receiving yards and 158 touchdown receptions. Last year, Glenn and Owens became just the second pair of Dallas wide receivers to top 1,000 receiving yards in the same season, joining Tony Hill and Drew Pearson, who did it in 1979. Glenn's 70 receptions in 2006 were the third-most of his career. He has gained over 1,000 receiving yards in each of the last two years, making him the fifth receiver in club history to record multiple 1,000-yard seasons. The other four who've done it are Michael Irvin (seven times), Tony Hill (three), Bob Hayes (two), and Drew Pearson (two).

In 2005, Glenn led the NFC and was second in the NFL with 18.3 yards per reception. He also topped 500 career receptions and tied a personal record with four 100-yard receiving games. In 2003, his first season with Dallas, Glenn led the Cowboys with 754 receiving yards and five touchdown receptions. His second season in Dallas began just as well, but a sprained foot in Week 6 ended his season. Before the injury, Glenn averaged 16.7 yards per reception. The Cowboys acquired Glenn from Green Bay for a sixth-round draft pick Feb. 28, 2003. The trade reunited Glenn with head coach Bill Parcells, who was New England's head coach when the Patriots chose Glenn with the seventh pick in the 1996 NFL Draft. Glenn earned All-Rookie honors after catching an NFL rookie record 90 passes. While working with quarterback Drew Bledsoe in New England, Glenn recorded the fifth-most receptions and fourth-most receiving yards in Patriots history. During his 11-year career, he has recorded 593 receptions for 8,823 yards and 44 touchdowns. He also has 23 100-yard receiving games, including six games of 148 yards or more.

2006: Glenn turned in another solid performance, recording his third-most receptions in a season (70) and fourth-most receiving yards in a season (1,047). His 70 receptions ranked 12th in the NFC and 25th in the NFL. His 1,047 yards ranked 10th in the NFC and 18th in the NFL. Glenn also had six TD receptions, one shy of his season best in 2005.
Glenn recorded his second straight 1,000-yard receiving season, and the fourth of his career. It was also the 20th 1,000-yard receiving season in club history. In the season-opening loss at Jacksonville (9/10), he led the team with 81 receiving yards on four catches, including a 51-yard reception that set up the Cowboys' final touchdown. Three of his four catches came on touchdown drives.
In the home-opening win over Washington, he led the team with six receptions for 94 yards and a touchdown. Five of his catches - and 90 receiving yards - came on Dallas scoring drives, including a 40-yard touchdown catch that capped a 99-yard drive to start the fourth quarter. Glenn also drew a 41-yard pass interference penalty to set up the Cowboys at the five-yard line for their second touchdown. He also made a key block on two Redskins to spring Marion Barber on a 26-yard reception. In the Cowboys' win at Tennessee (10/1), Glenn recorded five catches for 54 yards and two touchdowns. It was his third career multiple-touchdown game; all three have come with Dallas. Against the Titans, he became the 66th player in NFL history to top 8,000 career receiving yards. Glenn also ran 22 yards on an end-around to help set up the Cowboys' first touchdown of the second half. In the loss at Philadelphia (10/8), he led the team with five receptions for 61 yards, including three receptions that picked up a first down. In the following week's win over Houston (10/15), Glenn tied for the team lead with five receptions for 47 yards, including two that picked up first downs. In the Monday night loss at the Giants (10/23), he added four catches for 41 yards, including two catches on third down to pick up a first down. In the Sunday night win at Carolina (10/29), Glenn had four catches for 52 yards, including two for 19 yards on the Cowboys' first touchdown drive. In the last-minute loss at Washington (11/5), he recorded three receptions for 26 yards and caught his fourth touchdown pass of the season. His 10-yard touchdown catch gave Dallas a 6-5 lead in the second quarter. All three of his catches came on Dallas scoring drives against the Redskins. Glenn missed the following week of practice with a sore quad and was inactive for the win over the Cardinals (11/12). In the win over previously undefeated Indianapolis (11/19), Glenn led the team with six receptions for 78 yards, all of which came in the second half. He made five receptions for 71 yards on the Cowboys' two fourth-quarter touchdown drives. He made his sixth catch on a seven-yard slant on third-and-7 with 2:09 remaining, picking up a first down that allowed Dallas to run out the clock and secure the win.

In the Thanksgiving Day win over Tampa Bay (11/23), he made four receptions for 89 yards and two touchdowns. It was his second multiple touchdown game of the season and the fourth of his career. In the last-minute victory at the New York Giants (12/3), all four of Glenn's receptions picked up first downs, including two on third down. He had a 10-yard catch on third-and-5 from the Giants 15-yard line, extending a drive that ended with a Marion Barber touchdown. In the Sunday night loss to New Orleans (12/10), he led the team with a season-high eight receptions and 150 yards, marking his first 100-yard game of the season and the 22nd of his career. The 150-yard game was also the sixth-best of his career. In the playoff-clinching win at Atlanta (12/16), he led the team with five receptions for 96 yards, his third-best yardage total of the season. All five of his receptions picked up a first down, including two on third down. All five receptions also came on scoring drives, including two for 30 yards on the game-clinching touchdown drive in the final minutes. In the season-ending loss against Detroit (12/31), Glenn tied for the team lead with six receptions for 109 yards, including a season-long 54-yard reception on a flea-flicker. It was his second 100-yard receiving game of the season and the 23rd of his career. Owens had 117 receiving yards, giving Dallas two 100-yard wide receivers in a game for the first time since Sept. 12, 2004, when Antonio Bryant and Keyshawn Johnson did it at Minnesota. In the wild-card loss at Seattle (1/6), he led the team with four catches for 41 yards.

2005: In one of his most productive seasons, Glenn ranked first in the NFC and second in the NFL with 18.3 yards per catch. His team-leading 1,136 receiving yards ranked ninth in the NFC and 11th in the NFL and was the ninth-highest total in club history. He was also tied for eighth in the NFC and was 15th in the NFL with a career-high seven touchdown receptions. His 62 receptions ranked 18th in the NFC, and he was the first Cowboys receiver to have a 1,000-yard receiving season since Raghib Ismail had 1,097 yards in 1999. Glenn topped 1,000 yards for the third time in his career and fell just 11 yards shy of his career high of 1,147 in 1999. Each of his 1,000-yard seasons have come with Drew Bledsoe at quarterback. Glenn had four 100-yard receiving games in 2005, tied for the most by a Cowboys receiver since Michael Irvin in 1997. Glenn also had four 100-yard receiving games in 1998 and 1999. He had 62 receptions in 2005, giving him seven 50-reception seasons in his 10 years in the NFL. Glenn led the team with 49 first downs, including 18 that came on third down. In the season-opening win at San Diego (9/11), he recorded three catches for 42 yards, and all three catches went for first downs. In the Monday night loss to Washington (9/19), Glenn led the Cowboys with six receptions for a season-high 157 yards and a touchdown. The touchdown came on a 70-yard flea-flicker, which, at the time, was the second-longest reception of Glenn's career behind an 86-yard touchdown catch at Pittsburgh on Dec. 6, 1998 (later in the season, Glenn had a 71-yard touchdown). It marked the 22nd touchdown between Bledsoe and Glenn, but the first since Dec. 24, 2000, when they were on the Patriots. The 157-yard performance against Washington was the 18th 100-yard game of Glenn's career and his fourth-best receiving day ever. In the come-from-behind win at San Francisco (9/25), Glenn led the team with 137 yards on five receptions, including receptions of 58 and 44 yards. He had consecutive 100-yard games for the first time since the first two weeks of the 1999 season. In the loss at Oakland (10/2), Glenn made a catch of over 50 yards for the third straight week. He finished with two receptions for 64 yards, including a 57-yard catch on third-and-13 to get Dallas to the Raiders 26-yard line with 3:28 remaining. In the following week's blowout win over Philadelphia (10/9), Glenn had a season-high seven receptions for 118 yards and two touchdowns. He made three catches for 50 yards and a touchdown on the game's opening drive and then made a 38-yard touchdown catch later in the quarter. He closed the first quarter with five catches for 94 yards and two touchdowns. In the overtime win over the New York Giants (10/16), he made six catches for 64 yards, and five of his six catches gave Dallas a first down, including two on third down. Four of his six receptions against the Giants came on scoring drives, including both of his third-down conversion catches. In the last-minute loss at Seattle (10/23), he tied for the team lead with four catches for 35 yards. In the win over Arizona (10/30), he made three catches for 65 yards, including a 32-yard catch. All three catches picked up a first down and came on scoring drives. In the Monday night win at Philadelphia (11/14), he recorded two catches for 31 yards and a touchdown. Both receptions, including the 20-yard touchdown catch, came on a 72-yard touchdown drive late in the fourth quarter that pulled Dallas to within 20-14. In the following week's win against Detroit (11/20), Glenn's first reception of the day was the 500th of his career. He finished with three receptions for 35 yards. In the overtime loss to Denver on Thanksgiving Day (11/24), Glenn had four receptions for 56 yards, including a 39-yard catch on a second-quarter touchdown drive.

He had a season-long 71-yard touchdown catch off a flea-flicker from Bledsoe, which became the second-longest reception of his career. He also recorded the first rushing touchdown of his career with a six-yard run on an end-around in the fourth quarter. That gave him a career-high seven touchdowns for the year. In the loss at Washington (12/18), he had two catches for 25 yards, putting him over 1,000 receiving yards for the season. In the Christmas Eve win at Carolina (12/24), Glenn was second on the team with four receptions for 88 yards and a touchdown. He opened the game with a 51-yard catch in the first quarter to help set up Dallas' first touchdown of the game. He had a 20-yard reception in the second quarter to get Dallas to the Panthers 26-yard line, setting up a 24-yard field goal that tied the score at 10-10. He kick-started the Cowboys' game-winning drive with a 15-yard catch on first down and ended it with a two-yard touchdown catch on third down that put the Cowboys ahead, 24-20.
