Jeff Gladney acquitted on assault charges

An update on a story that may have fallen out of the minds of a lot of Minnesota Vikings’ fans has just come across the wire.

Aaron Wilson of the Pro Football Network (among others) is reporting that former Vikings’ cornerback Jeff Gladney was found not guilty on felony assault charges by a jury in Texas.

Gladney had been indicted last August after turning himself in following allegations that he had assaulted his then-girlfriend. Immediately after his indictment, he was released by the Vikings.

Gladney, one of the Vikings’ two first-round picks in the 2020 NFL Draft, played just one season for the Vikings.
