Jeffery’s agency released a statement denying the reports, saying, “Alshon Jeffery categorically denies the allegations that have been reported. The underlying incident was a minor freeway fender bender, and he provided his information at the scene.”

“These are unfounded allegations only, and Alshon has not been convicted of any offense. He will address this matter through the legal process, and he remains confident that the facts will demonstrate this was a misunderstanding and nothing more.”

Jeffery was drafted by the Bears in the second round of the 2012 NFL Draft, playing five seasons for them before going to the Eagles and winning a Super Bowl in 2017.
