"New York Jets nose tackle Kenrick Ellis could face up to 20 years in
prison or deportation on a felony charge of malicious wounding.

People close to Ellis said the alleged victim harassed his girlfriend
and came at the player with a baseball bat, and the tackle acted in
self-defense, according to ESPN New York. Ellis' trial has been
postponed twice.

Ellis also is facing a civil suit in relation to the incident, in which
Dennis Eley, who's seeking $3 million in damages, accuses Ellis of
breaking his nose and jaw, which required two surgeries.

Ellis is due in Hampton, Va., on Thursday for a pre-trial hearing.
Because of Ellis' "permanent resident" status, if he is convicted of an
aggravated felony, he could be deported. Ellis is a native of Jamaica
who moved to Florida at the age of 11.

Ellis appeared in five games for the Jets last season and started in two."

What do you mean by WTF? All this was known at the time Ellis was
drafted. I'm sure the Jets have provided him with solid legal counsel
in Virginia. I'm also hopeful the Jets food their research and
assessed the risk appropriately before selecting him in the

Sorry, I meant to write that I hope the Jets did their due diligence
in assessing the risk before drafting him in the third round.
