Now that the offseason is here, NFL players head home and take some time off. But it's also the time when players are more likely to get in trouble.Broncos running back Knowshon Moreno isn't in trouble, at least yet, but he is talking to police after a University of Georgia student has filed a police report saying that Moreno punched him at an Athens, Ga., bar last weekend. Moreno, who played his college ball at Georgia, had apparently headed back to the area after the season ended.
The student who claims he was punched suffered a concussion. According to the police report, he wasn't sure that Moreno hit him -- he was drunk and he was knocked out so his memory of the event is pretty foggy. But the students friends told him that Moreno was the one who hit him. A police spokesman is saying that Moreno has said that he was punched first, so the police are sorting through the stories before determining if there are any charges to file.
(Update, Feb. 25: According to the Denver Post, no charges will be filed against Moreno and the police department has closed the investigation.)
