Former Auburn and NFL FB Heath Evans has been accused of sexual harassment.
Evans, who now works with the NFL Network, has been accused by a former wardrobe stylist with the network of sending nude photos of himself and making numerous inappropriate comments at the plaintiff.
A number of other former NFL players, including Marshall Faulk, Donovan McNabb, and Ike Taylor, have also been named in the accusations.
Chris Bucher with Heavy shared the details pertaining to Evans:
In the amended lawsuit, Evans, who played fullback for the New England Patriots, is accused of propositioning Cantor multiple times for sex and “repeatedly making lewd overtures.” Cantor said that Evans sent nude photos of himself to her “on at least two separate occasions.” She said in her lawsuit that Evans made several comments to her, including him saying that he “needed to get in (Cantor) deep and hard.”
