Jacoby Glenn, CB, Central Florida
Status: Glenn signed as a free agent with the Chicago Bears.
A few weeks ago, I endorsed Glenn as a late-round sleeper, arguing that his production as a two-time all-conference pick in the American Athletic Conference, where Glenn was also the co–defensive player of the year in 2014, more than compensated for his lack of ideal size or speed. Shockingly, NFL teams ignored my advice, picked Glenn’s far-less-decorated AAC counterpart Byron Jones in the first round, and left Glenn to twist in the wind while 33 other cornerbacks came off the board.
Given how it turned out, it’s tempting to scoff at Glenn’s decision to leave UCF with two years of eligibility remaining, years he’ll now spend trying to defy the odds on the league margins. Frankly, though, if teams weren’t impressed enough with his existing body of work to overlook his physical limitations, another two years of All-AAC-ing would have been much less likely to sway them than an eye-opening turn in a minicamp.
