CHARLOTTE, N.C. -- The Carolina Panthers announced Friday that Wednesday's resignation of defensive backs coach Curtis Fuller came amid complaints of workplace misconduct.
The resignation occurred while the NFL continues to investigate team owner Jerry Richardson for sexual and workplace misconduct.
Fuller's misconduct was "inappropriate" against women, according to a source.
"After approaching Coach Fuller with the findings of an investigation into complaints of inappropriate conduct, we accepted his resignation,'' team spokesperson Steven Drummond said in a statement. "The Panthers are deeply committed to ensuring a safe, comfortable and diverse work environment where all individuals, regardless of sex, race, color, religion, gender, or sexual identity or orientation, are treated fairly and equally.
