Cris Carter to NFL rookies: get a fall guy
Late last week, ESPN released a profile story on former San Francisco 49ers linebacker Chris Borland. In that article, Borland said he was appalled by two prominent NFL retirees’ advice of hiring out fall guys to take the blame for any crimes the rookies may commit.
On Sunday, NBC’s ProFootballTalk revealed the two advising players were former Minnesota Viking and Miami Dolphin Cris Carter and former Tampa Bay Buccaneer Warren Sapp.
The ESPN profile did not name the retired players, as Borland refused to relay that information, however PFT found that the rookie symposium from 2014 was on the NFL website with a video of Carter’s “fall guy” diatribe.
