Davante Adams has some off the field issues to deal with.

The freelance crew member who was shoved by Las Vegas Raiders wide receiver Davante Adams has a personal injury attorney on the case. Park Zebley, a 20-year-old student at the University of Missouri-Kansas City, is being represented by Dan Curry of the law firm Brown & Curry. Dan Curry said the student was simply carrying equipment for a camera operator on his “first day on the job.”

The student wished to remain anonymous.

Via KHSB:

“What happened was egregiously unsportsmanlike and an act of violence that should not be excused by the NFL.”

Curry said his firm is continuing to investigate the incident and “evaluate his legal options.”

Adams was cited Tuesday in Kansas City, Missouri, Municipal Court with misdemeanor assault.

Curry said his firm is continuing to investigate the incident and “evaluate his legal options.”

Curry said his client is still receiving medical treatment and the “full extent hasn’t been established” but that he “suffered some concussion symptoms. He was nauseous immediately after the incident and he has some pain that he’s still dealing with today.”

ESPN reported that the student was working as a freelancer for its Monday Night Football broadcast.

Adams has retained J.R. Hobbs, a well-known Kansas City-area defense attorney, who mainly deals with high profile type clients.

Of course there was another angle of the video that painted a very different picture.
