A reporter then pointed out that in 2008, Glenn actually played against Rivers — in Week 8 of that season, when Glenn was with the Saints and Rivers was the Chargers’ starting quarterback.
“Yeah, I did,” a smiling Glenn said. “That, I think, is outstanding.”
The Saints won that game, by the way, 37-32 and Glenn had three tackles while Rivers had three touchdown passes and an interception.
Glenn was a three-time Pro Bowl selection at cornerback during a 15-year NFL career that began when he was drafted by New York with the 12th overall pick in 1994. He played eight seasons with the Jets before later having stints with Houston, Dallas, Jacksonville and New Orleans.
Glenn was hired by the Jets as their coach in January after serving as Detroit’s defensive coordinator the previous four seasons.
