Greg Hardy Reportedly Feared Teammates, Felt Humiliated After Social-Media Gaffe

Defensive end Greg Hardy has been a lightning rod for controversy since joining the Dallas Cowboys, but the former Pro Bowler may now be starting to realize the impact of his actions.

According to NFL.com's Albert Breer, Hardy was humiliated and afraid to face his teammates after changing his Twitter profile last week and proclaiming his innocence with regard to the situation involving ex-girlfriend Nicole Holder.

Twitter user Adam Mumma provided a look at the change, which Hardy subsequently altered:

Hardy was charged with assault and communicating threats to Holder after the incident, and he was found guilty in July.
