FLORHAM PARK, N.J. -- New York Jets linebacker Lorenzo Mauldin, who is being sued by a Queens, New York, man for assault, said Tuesday he was "shocked" by the lawsuit.
"Of course I was shocked, but with everything going on right now, it's pending," Mauldin told reporters at the start of the team's mandatory minicamp. "You don't know what the outcome is going to be, so I'll just refer everything to my attorney for questions."
In the suit, first reported Sunday by the New York Post, Jean Lopez, 22, said he suffered multiple facial fractures after being attacked April 2 at a nightclub in Manhattan.
