PITTSFORD, N.Y. — Linebacker Ikemefuna Enemkpali says it was never his intention to hurt New York Jets quarterback Geno Smith, and adds he's grateful to get a second chance at his career with the Buffalo Bills.
Enemkpali also apologized to the Jets team, his former teammates and fans for sucker-punching Smith and breaking his jaw in a locker-room altercation on Tuesday. He said he should have walked away.
As for joining the Bills, the second-year player vowed to be an accountable teammate.
He spoke for only 45 seconds and did not take any questions after reporting to the Bills training camp facility and passing his physical on Thursday afternoon.
