Quarterback Trevone Boykin was released by the Seattle Seahawks on Tuesday shortly after he was accused of assaulting his girlfriend. After his release, Boykin released a statement proclaiming his innocence.

He’s clearly not leaving much room for interpretation with that statement.
This isn’t the first time that Boykin has been down this road. While at TCU, he was involved in an incident prior to the Alamo Bowl. He was initially charged with third degree felony assault, which was later brought down to a misdemeanor.
Boykin has played sparingly in his first two seasons in the NFL. He’s gotten into five games and attempted only 18 passes while backing up Russell Wilson.
