Listenbee says Patterson threatened to ruin his NFL career if he didn't play injured | Fort Worth Star-Telegram

Former TCU wide receiver Kolby Listenbee took his lawsuit against TCU coach Gary Patterson, the university and the Big 12 Conference to premium cable television on Tuesday night when he appeared as part of a segment on HBO's "Real Sports with Bryant Gumbel."

Listenbee was injured during a touchdown reception against SMU in September 2015 during his senior season. He alleges that Patterson, former offensive coordinator Doug Meacham and other coaches “continually harassed, humiliated, pressured and threatened” him after his injury diagnosis in an effort to “force Listenbee to return to play quickly.”

He is seeking damages in excess of $1 million.
