Redskins’ Draft Pick Admits That He Lied

Washington Redskins fifth round linebacker Cody Glenn acknowledged that he wasn’t telling the truth during interviews about the reasons behind his three-game suspension during his final season at Nebraska. Glenn initially told reporters that cover the Redskins that he was punished for selling tickets, but is still declining to specify the real reason why he was suspended. According to an Associated Press report, Glenn admitted that he made up the story to get reporters to stop querying him about why he was punished. “It was me being dumb, just trying to have people leave me alone,” Glenn said. “It’s something I said that I probably shouldn’t have, looking at it now. ... So many people kept asking me about it, everywhere I go. That was the rumor out there, so I just said, ‘OK, yeah, I sold tickets.’ ... “It was just so people would kind of leave me alone, just to get them an answer, for people who had to have an answer. And to have people constantly nagging in my ear about ‘What did you do?’ blah, blah, blah. I got tired of that. That’s all that is. I didn’t mean to confuse anyone.”
