[1][2] At Point Loma, Glover lettered in football, wrestling, and track, and he earned awards in all three sports.
Although he had various college offers, he chose to follow his older brother Darcel Glover to San Diego State University and remain close to home.
Earning all-league honors, Glover helped the Dragons win World Bowl '97 and ranked third in the league with 6.5 sacks and adding 36 tackles.
"[8] He was a solid starter during his three seasons with Mike Ditka, but his career blossomed when Jim Haslett was hired as the Saints coach in 2000 and decided to move him to the three-technique tackle within a great front four group.
He also became a unanimous first-team All-Pro selection and earned a Pro Bowl berth as he helped lead the Saints to a division championship and first-ever playoff win.
[8] Following an impressive five-year run with the Saints, the Dallas Cowboys quickly swooped in and signed Glover to a multi-year deal.
He also provided a veteran locker room presence, helped anchor a young defensive line and was an integral part of the transformation from a losing team into one that returned to the playoffs.
His last season with the team in 2005, the defense switched to a 3-4 alignment, where he started splitting playing time with Jason Ferguson and was eventually relegated to a backup role in early December.
Glover made the most of his relatively brief stay, leaving as one of the best players in franchise history and one of its best free agent signings.
[11] During his career, he played 13 seasons, went to six straight Pro Bowls, had 433 tackles and 83.5 sacks, eight forced fumbles and two interceptions.
He was an extremely durable player and compensated for a lack of size with great tenacity and textbook technique.
Glover was hired by the Los Angeles Chargers as their assistant defensive line coach on April 9, 2019.
[16] Glover is a guest member on the Football Night sportscaster team of San Diego television station KNSD (NBC 7/39).
