Steve Smith, Darnell Dockett share thoughts on NFL players in trouble
The arrests in the NFL have seemingly piled up over the past two weeks, and the attention paid to the alleged crimes have been more magnified than ever.
On top of the Ray Rice scandal, Greg Hardy conviction, Ray McDonald arrest and Adrian Peterson indictment, Arizona Cardinals running back Jonathan Dwyer was arrested Wednesday for alleged domestic violence.
In light of all the negativity surrounding the league, outspoken players Steve Smith and Darnell Dockett (pictured) shared their thoughts via Twitter.
Smith, who is in his first season with the Baltimore Ravens, focused on the domestic violence issues:
You know its not that hard get!!!! Keep your damn hands off women!!!! God made women for you to Lean on them Not beat on them

Dockett, a longtime Arizona Cardinals DL who is out for the season, was critical of all the players getting in trouble, including Dwyer.
The only way I'll get in trouble with the LAW is if some one try to harm me or my kids Then at that point the hell with football ..

Both players have done and said a lot of stupid things, but these tweets were among their better ones.
