Darrion Scott played four years in the NFL with the Minnesota Vikings, leading the team in sacks in 2006.
Now he is charged with assaulting his own son.
The boy's mother said she heard the child crying and when she went to check on him she saw the boy lying on his back, kicking his legs while Scott (who is 6'5" 290 lbs.) was holding a plastic bag over the boy's head.
Scott told police they were playing and he was trying to see if the boy could get the bag off his head himself.
The mother told police the boy had suffered injuries in Scott's care before, and a doctor said marks on the boy's arm and ear were a result of being burned or hit.
Police found in a gun in Scott's house, which was kept in an unlocked nightstand which police determined to be easily accessible to the child.
Scott's agent said "Anyone who knows Darrion knows him to be a big 'teddy bear' type of guy, easygoing and never loud or abrasive. We believe this nightmare is a terrible mistake and that the child has not been abused, at least not by Darrion."
So now he is accusing the mother of being the abusive one?
I hope the next time Darrion Scott gets chop blocked, he breaks his leg.
