The NFL has suspended Jets cornerback Nick Marshall four games for violating its policy on performance-enhancing drugs, reports Rich Cimini of ESPN.com (Twitter link).
Nick Marshall is the third Jet to earn a ban this offseason, joining wide receiver Jalin Marshall and tight end Austin Seferian-Jenkins. The league also hit Jalin Marshall with a four-game PED suspension, while Seferian-Jenkins will sit for two games on account of a substance abuse violation.
The 24-year-old Nick Marshall, who went undrafted out of Auburn in 2015, is coming off his second NFL season and first with the Jets. While the former Jaguar appeared in eight games last year with Gang Green, he didn’t see any playing time defensively. He instead worked on special teams, totaling 106 snaps and returning a combined 18 kicks and punts.
Aaron Hernandez was found not guilty on almost all the charges related to the double murder trial by the way.
A big story, to be sure, but not on our radar here. Despite today’s verdict, he’s still serving a life sentence.
Yeah I know, just didn’t know if that was something you guys were following or even how much attention it got nationally since it’s local news for me.
I did read somewhere that he could have grounds for an appeal on the first case since the motive they had for him killing the guy he got convicted for was that he didn’t want him talking about the double murder. I don’t know if that’s true, I don’t remember many details about the case, but that could be something as well.
