When the New York Jets drafted cornerback Aaron Glenn in the first round of the 1994 NFL draft, they did so with visions of using him not only at cornerback, but as a kick and punt returner as he had averaged a whopping 19.9 yards per punt return with a pair of touchdowns in his final collegiate season. However, is time as a punt returner as a pro was short-lived.
After flubbing a few punts early on in the preseason as a rookie, head coach Bill Parcells had seen enough. Glenn looked unsteady and was immediately removed. He didn’t return his first NFL punt until eight years later when he returned two of them.
