Please pray for the McGlenn Family

Cameron would go on to play in the Arena Football where he had a great career.

He also had a one-year stint with the Guangzhou Power of the China Arena Football League in 2016.

Cameron was a feisty cornerback with long arms and talent. This is a horrible incident, and we at NFL Draft Diamonds would like to offer prayer for his family and friends in this tough time. Cameron McGlenn was a great football player and an even better human being. You will be missed Cam, Rest In Peace.
