I admittedly didn't follow this story so if I'm wrong on something forgive me, but hasn't he been cleared of any wrongdoing and the police simply wanted him for questioning? If that's the case I don't understand why he didn't get drafted. I don't see why we draw the line with an unfortunate murder of
a young woman he associated with but has been cleared. Yet, teams will gleefully draft a guy like Winston or the old Mizzou receiver and so on

From what I read, the kid is not his, and his attorneys say they can prove he was somewhere else at the time of the murder. Looks like Dallas got a first round pick on the cheap.

That being said, I guess he could have pulled a Rae Carruth, so, I wouldn't say "cleared."

So good to see St. Jerry give so many troubled players second chances. After all, they're just 22-39 year old kids who may or may not have made mistakes.

Who among us has NOT been accused of murdering our pregnant ex-girlfriend? Those who live in glass houses......
