The receiver spent five years in New England, a spell which included catching Tom Brady's first touchdown pass in 2001.

"We were shocked and deeply saddened by today's news that Terry Glenn died in an auto accident," Patriots owner Robert Kraft said in a statement.

"Terry was one of the most gifted receivers we have ever had. For so many Patriots fans, his rookie season will be remembered as one of the most impactful in franchise history."

Although on the Patriots staff in 2001, he did not play in the team's Super Bowl win that season after tensions with the coaching staff headed by Bill Belichick.

Glenn joined the Packers for one season after leaving the Patriots.

He spent his final five years in the league at the Cowboys, retiring in 2007 having amassed 593 receptions and 8,823 yards along with 44 touchdowns.
