Former Cleveland Browns great Bill Glass passed away Sunday. He was 86 years old. The former defensive end played for 12 years including his best statistical years with Cleveland from 1962-1968. He retired a Brown.
Glass attended Baylor University and every professional scout had him penciled in as a high first-round draft pick. He was voted to the All-American Team in 1956 plus was All-Southwest Conference. He lasted until pick #12 in the 1957 NFL draft selected by the Detroit Lions. Instead, Glass signed with Saskatchewan of the Canadian Football League for one year, then signed with Detroit for four seasons before being traded to Cleveland.
