It's common to hear about former NFL athletes giving back to the community by becoming volunteer coaches or assistants at colleges and universities across the country once their playing days are over. That's the path that former New Orleans Saints 6'3", 285 Lb defensive end Charles Grant chose to take, but the circumstances around the end of his time as a volunteer assistant are quite shocking. Grant and another student (who's identity hasn't been revealed yet), were exchanging some words and were taunting each other. After some time of taunting, it then broke out into to a somewhat fight, where Grant then body slammed the student and threw him against the bleachers. Grant had been a volunteer linebackers coach for the Bowie State Bulldogs, whose regular season ended last Saturday with a win. The DII school is located just outside of Baltimore.
A school spokesman told The Associated Press that the incident is being investigated by the university police department and that no charges have been filed in the matter as of now."The Department of Athletics has zero tolerance of behavior that violates the University's Core Values and jeopardizes the welfare of student-athletes," a statement from the school.
