Days before he was set to be one of the top defensive tackles selected in the NFL Draft, Florida’s Caleb Brantley has done something to jeopardize all that.
A police report obtained from the Gainesville Police Department indicated that Brantley was charged with misdemeanor assault stemming from an Apr. 13 incident in which he punched a woman in the face, knocking her tooth out.

According to NFL.com, Brantley had been projected as a second-round pick. Given the consequences for Joe Mixon, we may see the defensive lineman drop further than that in light of this.
