Nesby Glasgow, whose interception helped clinch Washington’s 1978 Rose Bowl win over Michigan before embarking on a 14-year NFL career that included a five-season stint with the Seahawks, died Tuesday after a lengthy battle with stomach cancer, a Seahawks source confirmed.
He was 62.
Glasgow, who played defensive back for the Seahawks from 1988-92, told the team’s website in the fall of 2018 that he had been diagnosed with adenocarcinoma the previous March. The cancer, which according to the Seahawks.com story began in his stomach and his liver, was at stage 4 and had already spread outside of its origin.
