It was a tough break last May when Jaguars rookie pass rusher Dante Fowler tore his anterior cruciate ligament at his first OTA, forcing him to miss the entire 2015 season.
But what Fowler had to endure this past week — scrutiny, ridicule, judgment — after TMZ released a video of his alleged girlfriend and mother of his baby engaged in a 15-second fight near an elevator outside a Florida apartment complex is upsetting on a different level.
This is in no way an attempt to defend Fowler, who didn’t break any law in an incident that required no police intervention or a report being filed.
