"Tarik Glenn" is a former American football offensive tackle who played for the Indianapolis Colts of the National Football League (NFL). Glenn performed as two-way lineman at Bishop O'Dowd High School in Oakland, California.

He attended the University of California, Berkeley, where he was a four-year Letterman (sports)/letterman and two-year Starting lineup/starter. He started his career at defensive tackle before moving to offensive tackle in his junior year. He was selected with the Colts' first pick (#19 overall) in the 1997 NFL Draft. He has started all 16 games in seven of his ten pro seasons, and only missed six games in 2003 Indianapolis Colts season/2003 with a knee injury. He made his first Pro Bowl appearance in 2005. The NFL told Glenn that he would also appear in the 2006 Pro Bowl. However, they later informed him that he did not receive enough votes and that he would be an alternate. Glenn did end up participating in the 2006 Pro Bowl replacing the injured Willie Roaf. Tony Dungy, who generally backs the NFL, verbally stated that he was disappointed with the way in which the NFL handled this particular situation.

On July 24, 2007, Glenn announced his retirement. He said he lost his passion for football.[http://sports.espn.go.com/nfl/news/story?id=2947967 ESPN - Glenn to retire from NFL after 10-year career with Colts - NFL]

After watching the film, I felt we took a couple of steps backward.

I overcame adversity throughout the year. Even though we didn't meet a lot of our team goals, my peers recognized me as one of the best. It was so rewarding.

It marked the year for us to really come out and play well as a team. I think it changed . . . how we went out and played games when we went to a hostile environment.

The most important thing for our success is to keep the quarterback clean, because we know what our bread and butter is.

Baltimore is going to be just as hostile and just as sweet. It's always fun to play in different stadiums to get a different feel.

They did the whole Derrick Thomas tribute and had the airplanes flying over the stadium.

The older guys are trying to get the younger guys to understand you're going to have bad games. But there's always something you can learn from it.

Marshall was very energetic and explosive. When you blocked for him, he always made you look good and you enjoyed playing for a guy like that.

Thank you for all the hard work that you have done, ... I have seen the salary sheets so I know that you guys are not doing it for the money. I truly do appreciate that.
