Former NFL running back Dave Meggett was sentenced to 30 years in prison on Wednesday, in a South Carolina court. Meggett, who once played for Towson and whose son Davin currently plays for Maryland, was convicted on charges of criminal sexual conduct and burglary. There's a link to the Baltimore Sun article, below.
Ex-NFL player Meggett gets 30 years in sexual assault
Growing up in NY, I was a big Dave Meggett fan back in the early 90's, especially in 1990 when they went 13-3 and beat the Bills (hate) in the Superbowl. He returned punts and caught balls out of the backfield on 3rd down, and I loved how fast he was, and that he made defenders miss... I think of him as sort of a combination of a poor man's Reggie Bush and Kevin Faulk; he didn't have Bush's talent, but did things with a bit more flair than Faulk. A good player, but he's obviously run afoul of the law - this supposedly isn't an isolated incident.
