Mac Engel: Three strikes later, Trevone Boykin's football career is over

FORT WORTH, Texas _ Trevone Boykin denies the disgusting details and the account that he violently and brutally assaulted his girlfriend, but he's likely finished as an NFL player.

However the assault claim ultimately plays out, his football career is likely over, and it will be hard for anyone to ever again see him in the same soft light that he worked so hard to create in his time at TCU.

The Seattle Seahawks immediately cut the former TCU star quarterback after the WFAA report of Boykin's alleged assault against his girlfriend. For an undrafted player who went from an active NFL roster spot in 2016 to the practice squad in 2017, cutting him is an easy call.

Even if every detail of her account proves to be untrue, he was there. Again. That's on him. It's also not a coincidence. This is the third time since December 2015 that he's been involved in some sort of altercation.
