1973 - 3rd round, pick 69 by the NYG.
Guy was a super stud for Nebraska Cornhuskers but never excelled in the pros.
The knock on him as I can recall was his size: 6'1" 235..small for a noseguard, his position in college.
"Glover was smaller, but he had another level of quickness. Often, in those years an offensive lineman was used to going up against a slightly bigger and much slower defensive tackle. Glover would just blow them away with his quickness, speed, agility and aggressiveness."
I think in today's game coaches would have found a way to use him effectively, probably as an edge rusher or linebacker.

I remember that he was a monster at Nebraska. But never really developed into the player we hoped.
We don't talk enough about those troubled teams of the 70's.

I think we got both Glover and Jacobson as all Americans out of Nebraska. Both were great in college neither one was distinguished in the NFL. |

I remember him vividly , everything that has been posted is very true.
Is he still alive ?
Talking about Nebraska , how about Larry Jacobsen OL.
Number one draft pick, another bust.
