Former New England Patriots linebacker Willie McGinest entered not guilty pleas on all charges related to an alleged assault in a Los Angeles restaurant last year.
TMZ Sports reported McGinest was charged with one felony count of assault with a deadly weapon and one felony count of assault by means of force likely to cause great bodily injury. Video shows the longtime NFL star and others repeatedly hitting a man, who has since filed a lawsuit claiming McGinest assaulted him after he made a comment about USC's Pac-12 Championship Game loss to Utah.
McGinest played college football at USC from 1990 to 1993 before entering the 1994 NFL draft and being selected by the New England Patriots as the No.
