Former Nebraska DB Alfonzo Dennard Violates Probation

And now I understand why the Patriots took Nate Ebner before they took Dennard.

My god. Back in the slammer because he needed a drink.

I hope the young man gets his life together.

For five days, FWIW.

I just realized from the article that he's been unemployed this year and the Patriots still didn't bring him in during the CB injury epidemic.

Prayers to our Lord for him, and his family... and a request for intercession to the patron saint of those who struggle with the demon of alcoholism (Saint Talbot).

 

[Kontradiction]

Hopefully he gets treatment. There's clearly a problem there.

Sucks to be him. Best of luck to him straightening himself out. As for the Pats, we've moved on. We have the version of Alfonzo Dennard that Alfonzo Dennard was supposed to be: Leonard Johnson.

I understand that it's not a long stretch but he has been told that if he drinks he violates his parole and he goes to jail.

I'm sorry but that tells me he has problems that go beyond being a garden-variety criminal.

He has never played for another team.

It's a Nebraska college football site. So him playing there is more relevant for the site, than him playing for the Pats

I sincerely hope that the few days in jail is the bottoming out that he needs to give him the incentive to deal with his alcoholism. Best wishes!

 

[Wheelman]

What a shame! I'll always remember how he flatout jammed torrey smith right at the LOS. Only to see Spikes get exposed in coverage...

They didn't want his neighbors to shun him.

2 thoughts come to mind:

1) Apparently the sentencing judge was bluffing when she promised Dennard time behind bars on a 2nd violation (first was for DUI). Considering the fact that both violations were for alcohol related crimes, you don't see a 3rd chance too often without some type of intervention. 5 days behind bars just isn't going to cut it.

2) I repeat again--It is VERY difficult to fail a test for alcohol, since it's processed at an ounce an hour. You can basically drink 8 beers from the evening until 2 AM and still pass a test around 8-9-10 AM. This means that he was basically intoxicated while giving the test(s) in some capacity. His probation officer obviously isn't showing up at 4:00 in the morning, which means that he could've easily continued to drink had he been slightly more responsible.
