2. Monster is one word, though NFL front offices generally prefer the euphemism "character issues"

Here's an article about the "hazing" (aka assault) accusations against him and several teammates:
https://fox56.com/news/local/former-psu-football-player-gives-details-on-alleged-hazing-by-teammates

As one can note, that article is several years old. Since then nobody was ever criminally charged, and a lawsuit only proceeded against the University and the coach. Parsons called the accusations "false" when he was entering the draft. The report detailing an investigation by the university was kept secret by a protective order issued by a judge.

However, Parsons has more recently claimed that he's a different person now and everyone makes mistakes when they are 18 years old -- which doesn't really fit with the previous flat out denials and implies he now recognizes wrongdoing on his part. Or maybe he's just as bad at logic/argumentation as he is good at football.
