Over the years, the NFL has produced a number of heroes that children across the country have looked up to. The likes of Tom Brady and Patrick Mahomes are some of the top athletes that come to mind when talking about players who set an example for the rest to follow.
However, the league has also produced certain personalities who have done the exact opposite and have had run-ins with law enforcement. Recently, the horrific story of Alleah Taylor and former Seattle Seahawks athlete Chad Wheeler has come to light. Let’s find out more about it.

During the proceedings, there was a point when Taylor directly addressed Chad Wheeler. She said, “Let’s talk about mercy. You showed none the night you tried to murder me.
