Glenn Winston (born April 29, 1989) is an American football running back for the Cleveland Browns of the National Football League (NFL). He played college football at Michigan State and Northwood. He was signed by the San Francisco 49ers as an undrafted free agent in 2014.
College career
Winston attended Michigan State University for two years, before being dismissed from the team for violation of team rules.[1][2] Winston had been involved in two on-campus altercations. The first occurred in October 2008, where he was involved in a fight which left Michigan State hockey player A. J. Sturges seriously injured. The second occurred in December 2009 along with other teammates in a brawl at Michigan State's Rather Hall.[3] He was later sentenced to six months in jail for the Sturges incident.[4][5] In 2013, Winston enrolled at Northwood University.[6][7] In his lone season at Northwood he rushed for 717 yards and nine touchdowns in eight games.
Professional career
Winston was signed by the San Francisco 49ers after going undrafted in the 2014 NFL Draft.[8] He was released by the 49ers and claimed off waivers by the Cleveland Browns on August 31, 2014.[9]
