The New York Jets were dealt yet another blow on Tuesday when they learned that reserve defensive lineman Nathan Shepherd would be suspended for six games for violating the NFL’s PED policy, per a report from NFL Network’s Tom Pelissero.
This suspension comes as a result of two separate violations of the policy that Shepherd himself has admitted to. It is refreshing to see a player openly admit to their wrongs, but that certainly shouldn’t change anything.
In his own words, this is what Shepherd had to say about his suspension.
