Strauss : What was your draft day experience like?

Glenn : It was exciting, however, I was just sitting in my Lincoln apartment doing homework.

Strauss : What was your rookie year like with the Redskins?

Glenn : It was horrible because it was completely different than what I was used to. I hate the big city environment because I’m a small town, country boy.

Glenn : I would have to say it was before the coin toss. I got to talk to a childhood hero of mine, John Randle. He had been inducted into the Hall of Fame that year. He was a person I looked up to as a kid because he was from around the same area as me, and he finally made it all the way to Canton.

Strauss : What’s your favorite memory with the Colts?

Glenn : The game against the Patriots in Indianapolis on Sunday Night Football when we came back from like 21 points down with four minutes to go.

Strauss : How eager were you to sign with the Ravens?
