[edit] 2006 Season

The 2006 season was a year of great growth for Kevin Glenn. Though working in a brand new offensive system under new head coach Doug Berry, Glenn performed admirably, taking the Blue Bombers to their first playoff appearance in two years. In a Week 8 game, Glenn slightly tore his ACL, but returned to the field to play his former team the Saskatchewan Roughriders in their Labour Day tilt.

The 2007 season has seen Glenn emerge as one of the CFL's elite quarterbacks.

Glenn led Winnipeg to the 2007 Grey Cup with a win in the East Division final defeating Toronto 19-9 before leaving the game due to a broken arm.
