SPARTANBURG, S.C. -- Carolina Panthers linebacker Thomas Davis would like to see the NFL take a player's character into consideration when issuing penalties such as the four-game suspension he'll serve to start this season.
The 2014 NFL Man of the Year for his community work with kids learned in April he violated the league's policy on performance enhancing drugs for a failed test at the end of last season.
He immediately recorded a video that he released on social media, claiming the failed test season came from an estrogen blocker he'd taken the last seven to eight seasons without issue.
