Former NFL receiver Mike Sims-Walker, who was Brandon Marshall's roommate at Central Florida, offered to take the blame in a civil lawsuit regarding the New York Jets receiver allegedly punching a woman in 2012.
"If I need to, I'll take the blame; I'll say I hit her," Sims-Walker texted Marshall, per Dom Cosentino of NJ Advance Media.
Sims-Walker's role in the incident was revealed Wednesday as part of jury testimony in the case. Marshall did not ask Sims-Walker to take the blame, and text-message evidence shows he declined the offer altogether.
