Former NFL Player Named Suspect in L.A. Armed Robbery 

Former NFL wide receiver Deon Long has been named as a suspect in an armed robbery, TMZ reports.

The baller, who was featured on “Hard Knocks” back in 2016 after being cut by the Rams for bringing a woman into his room during training camp, is now suspected of pulling a gun on a man in a failed craigslist transaction.

According to TMZ, the alleged victim told officials that he met up with the 26-year-old for a craigslist exchange. Apparently, Long purchased a duffel bag from the alleged victim, but when the two met up for the trade, Long pulled a gun on him and dipped without paying.

The incident is under investigation.
