Turned down some money, that's for sure. But it looks like it all paid off

Roll Tide Glen

Some of the comments are amusing but I'm glad that he has found something that makes him happy.

Right or Wrong he is Tide family, I hope for him the very best.

Still a bizarre story, but I'm glad that he found something he enjoys. RTR, Glen.

Most of the commenters appear to be adolescents - and that is being kind.

Congratulations, Glen! Continued success and be safe.

Good job for him to recognize and follow what he believes is God's will for his life.

Agree with his reasons or not, it takes character to voluntarily walk away from an NFL career (with money, fame, and women) because you don't think it is the best thing for you to be doing with your life.

He sounds like he has strong convictions. Thank you for posting.

 

[Bamabuzzard]

Whatever he chooses to do I hope he succeeds but mainly I hope he's happy. Some of the most miserable people in the world are those who have everything.

These are the people in this world who should be praised and lifted up, not the people who sign the next $200 million contract. Way to go Glen. Roll Tide!

Thanks OP for posting this article. I've wondered what happened to Glen and hoped he's doing well. Glad to hear he's pursuing his vision and wish him all the best.

 

[BigBama]

He seems like a very interesting person. I'm glad he is doing something that gives him purpose.

The article is dated June 2013. Anyone have any updates on how he's doing?

One of my favorite Bama players of all time. So rare to find an athlete now who is introspective and sees beyond the almighty dollar. Roll Tide, Coffee, and thanks for everything.

Saw this earlier today and I had no idea he had ended up on active duty. Here's hoping he's finished all his training and is off fighting the good fight with his head down and his powder dry.
