Glenn Sharpe (born February 27, 1984) is an American football cornerback who last played for the Indianapolis Colts of the National Football League. He was signed by the Atlanta Falcons as an undrafted free agent in 2008. He played college football at the University of Miami.
Sharpe has also been a member of the New Orleans Saints.
Sharpe played college football for the Miami Hurricanes. He is perhaps well known by Miami fans for a controversial pass interference call in the 2003 Fiesta Bowl at the end of the first overtime, in which he was flagged for pass interference in the end zone on 4th and 3 and Miami leading 24-17. The call kept Ohio State's drive alive and allowed them to tie the game, and they ultimately won in the second overtime 31-24, preventing the Hurricanes from repeating as national champions.
Sharpe won a Super Bowl ring with the New Orleans Saints as a practice squad member when the Saints defeated the Indianapolis Colts in Super Bowl XLIV, 31-17. He was waived on June 21, 2010. [1] He was signed by the Indianapolis Colts on August 23, 2010. [2] He was released on September 4, 2010. [3]
On February 22, 2012, Sharpe was arrested and accused of murder in DeKalb County, Georgia. He was held in the Dekalb County jail without bail. [4]
