It looks like A.J. Green will not appeal the hefty fine given to him by the NFL.
The former Georgia Bulldog WR and current Cincinnati Bengals star made headlines for his brawl with Jacksonville Jaguars DB Jalen Ramsey. The incident was very uncharacteristic of Green and led to both players being ejected.
Neither player was suspended for the incident, but it has since been revealed that Green is facing a $42,000 fine from the NFL. It was also reported that Green will not appeal his fine.
Geoff Hobson shared Green’s comments on the fine to Twitter:
AJ on 42k fine: no appeal. I made a mistake, have to pay price

It is good to see Green admit the mistake and simply try and move past the incident.
Green played for Georgia from 2008-2010 and finished his Bulldogs career with 166 catches, 2,619 yards, and 23 TDs.
