Hurd listens to veteran DB
ERICH SCHLEGEL / DMN
Aaron Glenn has been referred to as the Yoda of the secondary, and not just because he's short and wrinkled. The man is a fountain of football knowledge.
Glenn, a 14-year veteran known for his study habits, doesn't just help the young defensive backs. He's become a valued tutor for second-year WR Sam Hurd (right), who often works with Glenn after practice.
Many of Glenn's lessons with Hurd focus on how to release off the line of scrimmage. Hurd came out of college as a guy that did well against press coverage, but he said he used to be confused when cornerbacks played other techniques. Glenn teaches him tricks that he knows firsthand give DBs trouble.
While T.O. made a public display of taking Hurd under his wing last season, Glenn frequently whispers tips to receivers in practice. Hurd asked Glenn to take the teaching to the next level with post-practice tutorials.
"You can learn so much from him," Hurd said. "I just love it. I love working with AG."
