No. 88
East Carolina
"Remember the name of Glenn Bass, the Wilson County (North Carolina) whippet who may blossom into the top pass-receiving split end of the year. He nailed 50 aerials in 1961, playing only 11 games, and gained 465 yards. He spurned a baseball bonus to sign with the Chargers who released him at the start of '61.
He has the hands and speed to be a star, but needs the work and experience to develop into one."
-Don Schiffer, 1962 Pro Football Handbook
"The leading 1961 pass receiver with 50 receptions, although playing in only 11 games. Bass was selected as the most valuable player on offense by his teammates. The second fastest player on the team, he was signed following his release by San Diego during the training camp period. Bass is now considered one of pro football's brightest split-end prospects.
An All-North State Conference selection at East Carolina College. He was a high draft choice of the St. Louis Cardinals.
A top flight baseball prospect at shortstop, Bass rejected a large major league bonus offer to play pro football."
-1962 Buffalo Bills Official Program (War Memorial Stadium)
