KANSAS CITY Kendall Sheffield Jersey , Mo. (AP) — The attorney for Tyreek Hill sent a letter to the NFL on Thursday disputing child-abuse claims made by the wide receiver’s fiancee, offering a point-by-point response to a secret recording of the couple that was made public last week.In the four-page letter, a copy of which was obtained by The Associated Press, attorney N. Trey Pettlon also said Hill was willing to cooperate with the league’s investigation.“(Hill) categorically denies he has ever ‘punched’ his son in the chest or anywhere on his body, or otherwise touched him in the chest in a mean-spirited manner,” Pettlon wrote, adding that the audio was recorded while Hills and his fiancee, Crystal Espinal, were considering separation.The NFL has declined to comment on the case. The Chiefs also have declined additional comment.The Chiefs suspended Hill indefinitely last Thursday, shortly after KCTV aired the recording in which the couple discusses injuries to their 3-year-old son. The following day, prosecutors in Johnson County, Kansas, reopened an investigation of Hill that had been closed just 48 hours earlier.On the audio http://www.falconscheapshops.com/cheap-authentic-john-cominsky-jersey , Espinal asks why the boy “kept saying, ‘Daddy punches me,’ which you do when he starts crying. What do you do? You make him open up his arms and you punch him in the chest.”Pettlon wrote there have been times that Hill has “tapped his son gently” and told him to “Man up, buddy,” or “Don’t cry, my man.” Pettlon also said Hill has always done so in a “calm voice” and that he has never punched or used his fist as a form of punishment.“The only thing Tyreek does with his son that is close to what she is describing as ‘punching’ is when they are playing,” Pettlon wrote.Espinal also claims during the recording, made as the couple was walking through a Dubai airport, that Hill’s son is “terrified” of him. Hill responds, “You should be terrified of me, too, bitch.”“Instead of denying that his son was terrified of him a second time, something that has bothered him a great deal Qadree Ollison Jersey , he became frustrated and said she should be terrified, too,” Pettlon wrote. “That comment is inexcusable, of course, and he wouldn’t ask me to defend that here. That comment is also inconsistent with Tyreek’s conversations with Ms. Espinal over the past several months.”Pettlon said a forensic examiner has looked through extensive text messages between the couple and that never once does Hill call Espinal a derogatory name.In one exchange, according to Pettlon’s letter, Hill tells Espinal after their trip to Dubai: “Crystal you know I didn’t cause any bruising or harm to (our son) but for some reason I still may be charged.” Espinal replies: “I know you didn’t. I did. I hurt (our son). I’m the one that did it. I was hurt and mad you so I blamed you for everything.”Pettlon also said that Hill is currently engaged in both family and individual counseling, “and he is committed to improving his life and becoming the best parent he can be.”The Chiefs are in the midst of voluntary offseason workouts, and Hill has already been barred from attending, which is one reason why the NFL has not placed him on the commissioner’s exempt list.Hill was drafted by the Chiefs despite a domestic abuse case in which he attacked Espinal while he was a student at Oklahoma State. Hill was kicked off the team there and wound up at West Alabama, and the Chiefs said at the time of the draft that he was undergoing counseling.That background, combined with the audio revealed hours before the start of last week’s NFL draft, generated a substantial outcry that Hill should be released by the Chiefs. Some have even said Hill Rashan Gary Jersey , one of the league’s best wide receivers, should never play in the NFL again.Pettlon said Hill and Espinal continue to cooperate with investigators, and that District Attorney Steve Howe’s office has reviewed the audio tape and has yet to prosecute either party.“It should be clear by now that there is a lot of information, including other compelling evidence that points to Tyreek’s innocence, that is not a matter of public record and cannot be addressed in this letter,” Pettlon said. “All indications are that the criminal investigation is over and Tyreek still maintains his innocence.” PHILADELPHIA (AP) — The Philadelphia Eagles loaded up on offense in a draft filled with defensive talent.Hoping to bolster a unit that was 18th in scoring last season, the Eagles selected Penn State running back Miles Sanders with the No. 53 overall pick and Stanford wide receiver JJ Arcega-Whiteside at No. 57 in the second round of the NFL draft on Friday night.“We have an affinity for scoring points,” personnel boss Howie Roseman said.Sanders had 1,274 yards rushing, an average of 5.8 yards per carry and nine touchdowns as a junior last year after replacing Saquon Barkley. He helps replace Jay Ajayi, who wasn’t re-signed after tearing an ACL last season.The Eagles hadn’t selected a running back this high since choosing LeSean McCoy also with the 53rd pick in 2009. McCoy became the franchise’s all-time leading rusher before Chip Kelly traded him to Buffalo in 2015.“Miles was a coaching staff favorite, a scouting favorite, a front office favorite Hakeem Butler Jersey ,” Roseman said. “We think he’s a special talent and a perfect fit for our offense.”The 5-foot-10, 211-pound Sanders ran the 40-yard dash in 4.49 seconds at the combine and is considered a three-down back.“He has great balance, lateral quickness and quick-strike ability,” said Joe Douglas, vice president of player personnel.Sanders had issues with ball security, fumbling five times, and needs improvement as a pass protector.“Those are things we talked about it and addressed it with him and we have one of the best running backs coaches in the NFL in Duce (Staley),” Douglas said.Ajayi was acquired midway through the 2017 season and teamed with LeGarrette Blount in a formidable backfield during Philadelphia’s run to a Super Bowl title. Both are gone now. Sanders joins Corey Clement and Jordan Howard, who was acquired in a trade with Chicago. Wendell Smallwood and Boston Scott are also on the roster.Arcega-Whiteside had 63 catches for 1,059 yards and 14 TDs as a senior. His size — 6-foot-2, 225 pounds — gives him an edge inside the red zone.“He creates separation and he showed his athleticism at his pro day,” Roseman said.Both of Arcega-Whiteside’s parents were professional basketball players in Europe. Several draft projections had him going in the third round and the Eagles passed up Ohio State’s Parris Campbell (No. 59 to Colts) and D.K. Metcalf (No. 64 to Seattle).“West Coast guys who play late get a little underrated because people aren’t watching those West Coast games,” Roseman said. “But this guy is a baller. When our fans get to know him Chris Lindstrom Jersey , they’re going to love him. He symbolizes Eagles football.”Arcega-Whiteside gives Carson Wentz another target to go with receivers Alshon Jeffery, DeSean Jackson and Nelson Agholor and tight ends Zach Ertz and Dallas Goedert.“Having this amount of depth and talent is something we’re going to need to get us through hopefully a 19-week season,” Roseman said.The Eagles traded up three spots to select Washington State left tackle Andre Dillard with the 22nd pick in the first round, sending Baltimore the 25th pick, a fourth-rounder (No. 127) and a sixth (No. 197) to move up. Dillard isn’t expected to contribute right away, barring injuries. He’ll learn behind nine-time Pro Bowl left tackle Jason Peters, who is 37 years old.Philadelphia has only two picks remaining, No. 138 in the fourth round and No. 163 in the fifth.Roseman said the team will be aggressive pursuing undrafted rookies.
