The NFL cannot confirm Eugene Chung's allegations that a team official made discriminatory comments during his interview for a coaching job.
"After multiple discussions, including with Mr. Chung and his representative, we were unable to confirm the precise statement that was made, or by whom and under what circumstances any such statement was made," the league said in a statement Thursday.
Chung, a 1992 first-round pick by the New England Patriots, played five seasons in the league and served as an assistant coach for a decade.
He told The Boston Globe in May that he was told he was "not the right minority" by an interviewer.
