The Sad Tale of Sharper

Former DB Darren Sharper had a great NFL career playing in five Pro Bowls and two Super Bowls over the course of 14 seasons. He won a ring with the Saints. He made a smooth transition to the NFL Network as one of their analysts. I heard him on numerous occasions and always thought he did a good job.

The recent news about his arrest is very disturbing. He is charged with drugging and raping two women in California. He is also being investigated for another eleven druggings and seven rapes across four states in the last 6-7 months.

All of this happened while he was on the staff of the NFL Network. He has been suspended from his job. He faces a long uphill legal battle. If he ever beats the charges, it would still be difficult for him to return in front of the camera.

His story will continue to unfold over the next several months.
