As former Florida DT Caleb Brantley prepares for the NFL Draft this week, he’ll have looming battery charges hanging over his head.

After allegedly getting into a physical altercation with a female earlier this month, Brantley has reportedly refused an offer to settle the case before Thursday’s first round.

According to his attorney, Huntley Johnson, Brantley had a chance to reach a financial settlement with the accuser, but declined:

Brantley’s refusal to settle could signal that the accuser’s story has been falsified, as a couple of different witnesses of the alleged assault seem to corroborate:

Without hearing what both sides have to say in court, it’s still too early to determine what exactly happened.

Now, NFL teams will have to decide whether they want to take a chance on Brantley or not, as it seems like the battery case won’t be going away any time soon.
