Jaguars defensive end Dante Fowler Jr. was allegedly involved in a brawl involving the mother of his child and his current girlfriend earlier this month. According to TMZ, Fowler, who was drafted third overall by Jacksonville in last year's NFL Draft, is seen in the above video standing by as the fight broke out between the two women.
TMZ claims the video is from Feb. 1 around 10 p.m. — Fowler arrived to an apartment complex in Florida with a woman believed to be his girlfriend who then proceeded to confront Fowler's baby mama in a common area in front of an elevator. The video appears to show Fowler stepping back to anticipate the fight. The two women go at it before Fowler eventually breaks it up.
The NFL has now issued a response to TMZ Sports themselves, and the Jaguars have issued a response as well.
Police reportedly told TMZ authorities were not called and no charges were filed. Although Fowler isn't directly involved in the actual fighting, this isn't the best of looks. Fowler didn't see action during what would have been his rookie season last year, after he tore his ACL in his first NFL practice ever. Fowler was taken in the first round after three successful seasons at the University of Florida.
